Spring season is a time of
renewal, growth and transformation. In urban spaces, spring arrives in almost
as juxtaposition; infusing concrete landscapes with colour and life.
In Kolkata and outskirts, the
transition from winter to spring often manifests as bright blossoms on a branch
against a high-rise apartment or a wrought-iron gate or even a red tree on a
highway. Nature silently reclaims urban spaces in springtime … and for a few
weeks, before the heat of summer settles in, the ‘concrete jungle’ looks and feels
almost like a garden. Spring in the city is an invitation to reconnect with Nature
… to pause and appreciate the small wonders that usually go unnoticed … it is a
reminder to treasure the ephemeral beauty that lingers in the corners. Meanwhile,
life keeps moving, throwing challenges our way, forcing us to adapt, learn and
evolve.

Spring’ in my corner of the world ...
