It's October Again

October arrives like a quiet whisper, 
a month of festivals wrapped in an electric
atmosphere that propels you forward. 
The air grows crisp, while the soft touch of 
the sun feels like a gift like the first sip of 
warm adrak chai after a weary day.
It carries a strange calm, restless yet serene,
 as the daylight shortens and a sense of
quiet transformation lingers in the air. 
As dusk falls, the sounds of bells and hymns echo,
 mingling with the comforting aroma of 
soul-nourishing food drifting from every corner.
In October, the soul stirs with a peaceful energy, 
carried by the gentle waves of change. 
The air, the atmosphere both invite you to rise 
from the frozen depths of your mind, 
moving toward something warmer, 
something more alive.
