Ritusamhara – there used to be six seasons, my love
These days, hardly do we experience the distinct six seasons that Kalidasa talks about. There has been so much change over the last thirty years. I don’t know whether the young generation will be able to connect with the concept of six seasons. Coincidentally, I come across many signboards in Bengaluru that say ‘Four Season Spa’ or ‘Four Season Hotels’. I see a plethora of YouTube videos teaching kids about the four Indian seasons. We have already discounted two season in our popular discourses.
