In the plains the summer is scorching. Dusty winds blows through
the brown ripen wheat fields. From the clusters of mango orchards
comes the screams of cuckoos. The days are hot, but the nights
are cooler. After summer comes the monsoon. The army of black
clouds armed with thundering and hurling silver darts of lightning
strikes the earth. The earth shakes as it receives it's bounty
from heaven exuding an memorable fragrance in gratitude.
After the rains the South is flooded. As far one could see is a
stretch of emerald green of rice fields. On the edges sits paddy
birds, with there heads hunched between their shoulders,
patiently waiting for some stupid frog to appear.
It is winter time in India. The sky is deep blue, the land is
green and gold with mustards and young wheat. Rivers and lakes
have received their seasonal visitors from lands across
Himalayas- geese, mallard, cranes etc.. Sarus cranes stride in
pairs in the ploughed fields, the adjutant stork stand in
sentinel duty beside the village ponds.
Our India is indeed on of the most beautiful country in the
world, as poet Iqbal said, " Saarey Jahan Sey Accha Hindostan
Hamara."(Of all the countries of the world, the best is our
Hindustan.)
