New Beginnings in Summer

“Here comes the sun, and I say, it's alright…” crooned The Beatles half a century ago (click here to enjoy the full song).? This magic of summer continues to hold true even today.

Summer is a time of new beginnings.? As the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, we are filled with a renewed sense of optimism and positivity to start new things. Trees, once bare, are now adorned in lush green foliage that dances in the gentle wind. Flowers bloom in a kaleidoscope of colours, enriching the landscape and soothing the soul with their beauty. The natural world becomes a symphony of sights and sounds, a testament to resilience and renewal in the cycle of life.

Have you ever noticed how summer seems to wake everything up? Flowers are in full bloom, trees are lush and green, and there’s a wonderful buzz of life all around. It’s like nature’s way of reminding us that every year brings a chance to start afresh. Just as flora and fauna are flourishing, we too can take this season as a cue to rejuvenate and grow.

Summer is a perfect time for personal growth and exploration. For students, it marks a transition - graduating, moving on to new academic pursuits, or enjoying a well-deserved break. This season is ideal for learning new skills, pursuing hobbies, or embarking on adventures. The freedom and flexibility of summer allows for travel, whether it’s a road trip, an overseas journey, or exploring local treasures. These experiences can lead to self-discovery and a refreshed perspective.

Summer brings lightness in the air which is reflected in our attire and attitude. As summer approaches, the shift in our wardrobe reflects more than just a response to rising temperatures; it embodies a change in attitude towards lightness and freedom. Summer clothing, with its breezy fabrics, vibrant colours, and relaxed fits, not only keeps us cool but also mirrors the carefree spirit of the season. This transformation in attire is deeply connected to a sense of liberation, allowing individuals to express themselves more freely and enjoy the season to its fullest.

Summer is a time to enjoy seasonal delights – mangoes, litchis, ice-apples, jamuns and many more. Many of us have childhood memories of climbing mango trees or picking up luscious jamuns fallen on the ground during summer vacations, and savouring them with delight in some cozy corner hidden from adult eyes. Even in our adulthood, as we bite into a juicy mango, we are taken down memory lane to those innocent days where happiness lay not in any monetary possessions but simple little pleasures. Recapture those nostalgic days in summer and recollect how little it takes to be truly happy.

As the sun shines brightly and the days stretch long, let’s embrace the possibilities that summer brings. Let’s explore, grow, and connect, knowing that every new beginning is a chance to create something wonderful.

Summer is here, and with it, a whole world of opportunities beckons…
