April full

 You think, i wanted to write April Fool!?! Eh no, not at all! Remember very well that a student of Eng Lit never ever goes wrong with either the grammar or the vocabulary. As for the typo's, very rarely would there be one.

To  get back to our theme, unlike T.S. Eliot, i do not think that April is the cruellest month. Instead, i would like to assert that April is the fullest month. Why? Let me count a few of April's blessings. 

To begin with,  April has, yes, I agree with Chaucer, lovely summer showers. The whole day, it gets hotter by the minute. In the evening, suddenly sprinkles the summer shower. The most beautiful and literally heady is the fragrance that intoxicates the very air when the rain droplets meet the hot soil. Every evening, hence, watering the plants is literally a fe(a)st of fragrance because i try to recreate this fragrant feel of the quickie of an April shower.

In April flower beautiful trees such as the 'flame of the forest', the 'golden shower' , for instance. They are a treat for the eyes, while the fragile 'bakul' flower completes the April evening feel with its mild and beautiful fragrance, and its delicate darkish beauty. The colourful "rangoon creeper" completes this medley of colour n fragrance.

How can you forget the fragrance of the first mango? The rich look of the mango, both in the raw and the ripe versions, is unbelievably unique. Such a mango-laden tree can transport you back to childhood in a jiffy. Tangy is the taste of the raw mango with a little rock salt and a smattering of the chilly powder. At times, nicer  it tastes than the ripe one, especially when the cuckoo hidden in the branches goes 'kuhoo, kuhoo'. April, in brief, like a fond father, indulges us hugely. Each one of our five senses is literally satiated.

So is our cognition. Full of festivals is April. Each one has its own ways of enriching our souls. Well, as important as the religious festivals is the Shakespeare day dedicated to reading.  Yes, on April 20 begins the Taurean Torrent of geniuses (it lasts till May 20),Yours Truly, too, included! 😂Creativity begins to bloom in April, right? No wonder, April is the fullest month. "Kool" it is indeed as the slang goes!

Pratima@ April is the month of beauty, joy and creativity. With the March exam fever behind you, you can rest, relax, read, reel, in brief, in the very real pleasures of the ever attractive April.
