Dude, Its Change of Seasons!

So, I opened up my mail, and this message popped up on screen, “WINTER now, let’s play cricket”. Of course, the practice will make out team win in the next competition match. And, the change of season brings a special flavor to an otherwise plain statement just told, like, “Let’s play cricket”. It gives reader a mood of ‘chill’ mixed with ‘thrill’ of playing. The other day I received yet another mail, “Its rainy season now, let’s begin football practice”. The fun part of playing football in rainy season is that your grungy socks and rending clothes set you more-up than down. You are down to earth while your mind is up on the sky with football in air.

Alteration of seasons is vital in not just changing or provoking thoughts to initiate matters but is essential in a-lot-many things beyond beginning and before ending. So to say, some may plan to make a strict diet chart for this season or may want to make a tryst with his best girlfriend on her n^th birthday. For those who are sick, you may just prefer saying that, “Dude, It’s just a change of season”, before prescribing a medicine. And in India, the seasons are uncountable. You might have heard people saying that it’s a season of marriage. A season of love, season of forgiving, season of fights, season of flowers, season of birds, season of party, season of togetherness and season of Parting.

For me, the season changed when I left VSRC in the last summer. May it look like I parted from my Alma mater, but the matter of fact is that, a part of me still beats the time I spent there and another part of me, remembers and cherishes the memories I have from IIT in general and VSRC in particular. In a hope, on a very special day, in a very special season, I will be able to get back to see the ripened memories all over Vikram Sarabhai Research... oops... Vikram Sarabhai Residential Complex. With New Year wishes flowing through, I expect more change of season’s mails hoping that each season brings a lot many happiness in all our lives. 

Wishing you all, a very Happy New Year 2013.
