“Nisha’s mother often says that the advent of summer brings new beginnings; mausam khul gaya hai; it opens its arms wide and makes space for you, it lets you shed the burden of fear and uncertainty and marks completion.”
Summer arrives in full bloom; it’s warmth and exuberance awakens the conscious. It brings life to the urban landscape; skies come alive and color bursts forth in a riot—rosy pinks, sunny yellows, and fiery oranges—as if competing to capture the attention of its inhabitants. The air, carrying the essence of summer on its wings, marks a time of growth, abundance, and vitality. It symbolizes joy, freedom, and the fullness of life, as people shed their winter weariness and embrace the outdoors. Summer is a season of endless possibilities, where dreams take flight and memories are forged under the sun-drenched days and starlit nights.
