My name is Rituparna, it means a new LEAF of a new season, and just like my name life has different seasons and we should appreciate and acknowledge that. Like seasons, our lives change, but it needs to change in a positive direction as change is inevitable. When the Summer season starts it’s blazing hot with bright sun rays everywhere, long days full of vibrant colors of yellow-orange flowers. We like to be in the comfort of air conditioners and fans. We crave icecreams and cold drinks. We indulge in watermelons and summer coolers. We eagerly look forward to summer vacations and don’t want them to end as it gives us a break from our daily routines and hustle of life, it allows us to travel and make new memories in new places and meet new people. And then comes Autumn, the fall season where leaves fall, food gets harvested, plants dry down, it changes the weather and transition into a calm serene climate. After which comes the rainy season, I love Rain since it is so refreshing, the trees and the whole city seems to be Breathing when all dust is washed away as Rain makes everything clear, it cleans every corner of our Earth, the cool breeze and clouds makes everything quite beautiful and soothing. The ponds get filled, crops get their deserving water and plants get new leaves. One can say everything starts growing with an attitude of freshness and newness. Finally the arrival of Winter, the temperature goes down and everything is cold and freezing. Dense fogs in the morning making it impossible to drive as we can’t see properly. Animals go into hibernation, the days are shorter and the nights get longer. People long for sunshine as the cold weather sends chills down their spines. We become lethargic and lazy and don’t want to come out of our blankets. We wish to enjoy a hot cup of coffee and gather around a fireplace or heater for warmth. It’s been always like that and always will be so we should embrace it like every season.
There are however several downsides of this season one particularly being the homeless people dying due to the harsh cold, the farmers are also affected by the season as there is hardly any business in this season for them. Animals who don’t get shelter to sleep also get affected. In addition,
many flights get canceled and delayed. Many people get frustrated due to various reasons during this time but we should be aware that this SHALL too PASS and we should not dwell on it, we should not let sadness or setbacks be there forever. Our life should not reflect the grey skies. People tend to stay in the winter grey mode of energy for half of their life even decades related to relationships, childhood memories, professional grudges, and many more things on their minds and always complaining about what people and situations done wrong in their lives because after every winter comes SPRING with new life, new hope, new beginnings, new energy and growth, new leaves also start appearing. people come out of their blankets, birds chirp around animals, and the happy earth seems to come to life again with fresh buds blooming and animals awakening from hibernation.
Nature blooms with varied colors of flowers, buzzing bees, and butterflies all over flowers for pollination. People step out for outdoor activities. So my lovely friends SPRING CLEAN YOUR LIFE with the essence of newness just get out of your mental zone from whatever is bothering you and
welcome a new life. This cycle will always continue like this so you should welcome the fragrance of a new life. Every time a new season arrives but we eagerly wait for the next to come, just how we used to get excited from one class to another, one school to another from school to college because
we love growth and we enjoy the changes and experiences that come from that growth so let us also learn to accept the changes in our personal and professional life. Everything changes for a reason to benefit your TRANSFORMATION in life, consider it a push from the universe to a new horizon to better yourself as a person. So instead of dwelling in our winter states assure yourself that just like spring a brighter future always awaits you. Enjoying and accepting all the phases and seasons in our lives is important. I want to thank my mother for keeping my name Rituparna as it made me
understand what life is all about right from the day I was born, it led me to believe that I am the sky and everything else are the seasons which comes and goes and teaches me something new in different ways so that I learn from them and TRANSFORM my life with courage, dignity, and happiness.
