Autumn songs

Time was when autumn’s arrival meant blue sky, cotton wool clouds and Seuli flower’s aroma to herald the sarat kaal- and advent of the Puja season too. Alas! Thanks to climate change, or whatever, time- a-changing. The monsoon pattern is morphing, climatologists opine, deciding to stay over a little longer.  So, it’s rain, rain, and rain, going on unrelentingly with no sign of the mellifluous season and determined to spoil the mood of festive shoppers and puja organisers as well.
