India has broadly five seasons - Summer, Rains, Autumn, Winter and Spring. Each one has its own beauty and advantages. Summer brings relief to the people through vacations. They can visit places. The chilly winter is over. People can bathe and swim, sleep in the open air, travel without heavy bedding and go to hill stations. The rainy season, with its sparkling rain-drops, quenches the thirst of the earth and its people.

There is greenery all round. Autumn, with its mild weather, clean atmosphere and festivals of Pooja and Dussera, is people's favourite. The Winter season, when people sit at home, lazily warming themselves, can be very good. People can get dressed in colourful clothes. They can participate in winter sports and games. A man feels very active.

After these seasons comes the king of the seasons — Spring. It is my favourite season. March and April are the loveliest of months. Winter is over. -The harsh summer has yet to come. In between is this wonderful season when life starts once again after winter-sleep. Flowers bloom everywhere. Their intoxicating fragrance is in the whole atmosphere. Their variety of colours makes the world very beautiful. Yellow mustard-flowers bloom in -their millions in the fields. It is a marvellous experience to stand* at a high place and look around on blooming mustard-fields for miles and miles.

We also get to see the ripening ears of corn in the fields. A sea of gold appears to be before our eyes. Holi, the cheerful festival, is celebrated in this season. People throw colored water and powder on one another. There is a bonfire on the previous evening. After that people visit one another. It is such a wonderful festival of joy and colour.

Spring has always been celebrated in the literature of different writers. Poets have sung praises in its honour in noble poems. The sense of happiness in this season affects everybody. I also am at my best in this season. I love the spring season !
