The Awakening of Spring
Spring, a season of renewal and rebirth, paints the world in vibrant hues after a long, cold winter. Have you ever wondered why spring feels like the world is waking up? It all begins with the vernal equinox, a day in late March when day and night are nearly the same length, marking the official start of spring. Nature responds to this change in beautiful ways. Trees sprout new leaves, flowers begin to bloom, and animals come out of hibernation. The air is filled with the sweet aroma of blossoms and the cheerful chirping of birds returning from their winter migration. But spring is not just a natural phenomenon. It's also celebrated by various cultures worldwide. The Japanese celebrate the start of spring with Hanami, a cherry blossom viewing festival, while Indians welcome spring with the vibrant Holi festival. The start of spring is a global celebration, a symphony of life returning and a reminder of the beautiful cycle of nature.
