It is the time of the year when heat builds up. It was cold and quiet until now but the first thrill of the new year will begin soon.
The alignment of the planets produced much excitement until now but since that is now over, attention is turning to the "mango showers." This showers precedes the onset of summer season and knocks off the flowers on the mango tree. This leads to a lower production of mangoes but that is an "occupational hazard" as far as the mango tree is concerned.
Once the mango showers are over, it will signal the onset of summer. So, how are you doing? Are you waiting for any kind of seasonal changes?

Now a days seasons don't change as expected. We see a lot of crazy behavior of season due to climatic changes. The days are too warm for a spring season here.

@gofsey I agree to that! No place beats our climate and the diverse nature that we have. And definitely our mangoes are the best. I ate mangoes in Thailand and Indonesia. They to were at par with ours.

@arunima25 Wow! You have to tell me more about Indonesia and Thailand. Their cuisine is quite exotic I heard. And they have plenty of temples like us.
