Ans.>
Your Favourite Season
We enjoy the variety of seasons in West Bengal. We never suffer the monotony of a single season. However, among all seasons like spring most. It comes towards the end of Bengali year. The season roughly lasts for two months. But within this short span it makes nature breathe a spirit of joy. Spring offers us a pleasant climate, neither too hot nor too cold. The budding flowers bloom in full splendour. The breezy air carries the fragrance of flowers. New leaves make nature green and gay. Birds like cuckoo fill all the hollow of the sky. In fact, the entire surroundings pulsate with new life and motion. In spring comes off the holy festival of Dol-yatra. The season is aptly called the queen o seasons. I enjoy this season very much.
