Smell of June

        The school has been completed, but this smell, the smell of month of June always been apprehensive to me. Factual reason would be the difference. Likewise, the monsoon is at the doorstep and the scorching summer is coming to end. Change in humidity with dust storms would be the actual reason for this smell, although psychological reason doesn’t have any similarities with this.

            June is the month of a new start, as its school or a new beginning in life and new things always gives you anxiety. When we were in school, getting an exposure with new friends was eagerly awaited, but now exposure with new peers is a matter of concerned that not to be in league with them. Being in school was never have issues of peer competition. Maybe there was little or more than little expectation from parents or family when we were in school, but now things are completely changed!

The start of school was with the smell of new books and new uniforms or moving up from primary school to a secondary one or getting new stationary or cycle to do some show-off. Opening that fancy lunchbox with some fancy snacks was a muse.  Now, it is been with airconditioned rooms and politics underneath the table, to keeping us alive in the league of pitchers.

Maybe now it isn’t like a new start as a school. But still, one thing is same and will remain always, the smell of June, feel of enthusiasm, the joy of living life. We can do one thing now, nevertheless, we were doing it before,  Wait for rain. How avidly we would have wait for the rain to dance under the tinkling raindrops of monsoon.

Sometimes rain and storm become wild and unmanageable but it isn’t in our control, SO IS LIFE. Then why don’t forget misery for some time and let’s wait and hope for monsoon likewise we were doing it before.
