Our earth is a unique planet because it is the only living planet. It rotates on its axis at the speed of 1660 km per hour round the sun. this revolution round the sun brings changes in seasons. The inclination or tilt of the earth also helps in the change of the seasons. There are different lengths of day light at different times of the year for these seasons.
India has as many as six seasons – the summer, the rains the autumn, the early winter (Hemanta) the winter and the spring. Each seasons is roughly of 2 months duration.
India is a vast country and has many type of climates but primarily it is a hot and tropical country. The summer season begins from the month of April and lasts till thse end of June.
During the summer season the days are long and nights short because the sun is right over the country. The days are very hot and the heat is sometimes unbearable. Activity on the fields and farms is much reduced. People sweat a lot and feel thirsty and get tired early with the slightest labour. People enjoy cold drinks, cold water, icecreams etc. there are many types of fruits available during the season which include mangoes, lichies, melons, watermelons, apricot, pears, peaches, cherries etc. But it is also the season of many dreaded diseases like cholera, malaria, smallpox, dysentery etc. The mosquites menace is also there. Thus, it is a season with mixed blessings. The rainy season follows the summer and begins from June and lasts till October. India is a country of the monsoon, the rain-bearing winds. The onset of monsoon over kerala is from june first. Rains bring welcome relief from heat and dust. By early july monsoon rains cover the whole of India. There are black and grey clouds in the sky and the sky is hardly visible. The drain is accompanied by thunder and lightning. Sometimes rain continues for days together and there are floods in many parts of the country. The tanks, pools, lakes and rivers are full and begin to overflow. The paths and place become muddy and sticky. It is the season cuckoo, papiha and such other birds delight the hearer. Plants and trees, bathed in rain water, look bright and the earth is covered with green grass. The farmers again become busy and there id a lit of activity in the fields. The diseases like malaria, dysentry, dengue etc. break out during this seasons. India being and agricultural country, much depends on rains. When rains are good and in plentry it augurs well for the country and people feel very happy.
As the autumn approaches, the clods disappear from the sky and temperatures begin to fall. During the period many kinds of trees shed their leaves. Autumn soon gives way to early winter and the weather becomes delightfully cool and comfortable. The seasons of autumn and early winter (Hemanta) are comparatively of shorter duration and soon the winter set in.
The winter season begins from the end of November and lasts till the middle of February. Gradually the temperature drops very low. People wear heavy warm cloths to protect themselves from dry cold winds. The days are short and nights long. The poor in Villages sit by fire to protect themselves from biting cold. It is the season of much activity and labour. Rich people enjoy dry fruits while the poor relish many types of sweets prepared with jaggery or raw sugar and sesamums seeds and peanuts. During this season wheat, barley, gram, mustard etc. are grown. It is also the season to enjoy dates, oranges, apples, hot coffee and tea. There are many types of vegetables at cheap rates available during winter. The digestion is good during winter and so people enjoy mulch eating and good rest at night.
Spring is the king of all seasons. It is the best season when the climate is very pleasant with cool breeze all around full of fragrance.

The Season I Like Best
Winter is the season I like bests. India has as many as six seasons. The Indian summer is very hot and uncomfortable. Sometimes the temperature shoots up to s47 degree Celsius in some part of the country. We feel like a furnace all- around and the blazing sun beats down fiercely. Many people die of sun-stroke.
The activity is at the lowest and people perspire and pant for breath. The rainy season is muddy and sultry. The sky is overcast and everything is wet and sticky. Thsse spring is pleasant and welcome but short-lasting.
Winter sets in India by the end of November and lasts till the end of February. As the autumn season fades out, there are no clouds in the sky and there is gentle cool breeze and the weather turns pleasant. It is the season when the skies are clear and the sun shines warmly. People bask in the sun and enjoy themselves. The days are short and nights long. People work and during the day and enjoy good rest at night. For me, it is the bests time for studies. During the winter months I devote maximum time to learning my lessons and studying books. It inspires me to much work and physical exercise in the morning.
Indian winter are neither bealk not harsh. They are pleasant, comfortable and enjoyable. I improve my health during these days and my appetite is fairly sharpened. As a result, I enjoy eating lot of sweets like gajar ka halwa, ladoos, gajak and such other things besides dry fruits. I also enjoy peanuts with jaggery. I feel strong, energetic and very active. I enjoy evening and morning walks when there is no rush in the park.
It is also the season when I enjoy wearing my colourful woolen cloths. No I can wear neck – tie, muffler, gloves, woolen suit etc. They make me very comfortable and attractive to look at. At intervals there may be cups of hot coffee or tea with some snacks to my personal pleasure and enjoyment.
In my part of the country, it is a wonderful time and we go for picnics or sit in the soft warm sun enjoying peanuts, carrots, tomatoes or just talking. During winter many migratory birds come to India from far of lands. It is the best season to visit a bird – sanctuary like Bharatpur Ghana Sanctuary. Last December I visited the place with my father. It is paradise for bird – lovers spread over a 57 sq.km low lying marsh area. The sun – rise over the vast expanse of shallow water was and excellent view. The birds we saw there were geese. Siberian cranes, Chinese bar – headed geese and troupes of other migratory birds. The local birds included pelicans, ibis, egret, storks, darters, kingfishers etc.
Winter is the season of youth, enjoyment, work, studies and long and sound sleep at night. It is also the season of good health, hearty eating, basking in the sun and outdoor fun and picnics. Indian winter is never bleak, gloomy, snowy or dull as that of Europe of America. I always look forward to winter and its many joys and comforts.
