Autumn has arrived with all her crimson and gold beauty. When joy and sadness married, autumn was born. Being brought up in a family which prefers bringing up its children(even in this computer dominated time) by telling stories by the cozy family warmth, rather than letting them play computer games, this has always been my childhood belief of autumn's birth. I'm afraid if children of today would laugh at the fairy tales by branding them as falsehoods! Thank God!I still believe in them, inspite of the hectic lifestyle.When the slow breeze with a peculiar yet sweet mixture of smells, touched me, i realized that the 'autumn lady' brimming with her charm and allure has arrived. I experience such pretty moments when i take a long walk all by myself breaking free from all rush and madness.The leaves swivell down the trees, bidding adieu to its loving family to keep a tryst with the fall-breeze and lend her a unique personality. A personality rich in its quality and ethereal in beauty abounding in old-world charm.To me, autumn is the most charming of all the seasons. There isn't a mysterious air to summer, winter or spring. They are either too joyful or too sad. I think autumn is much like middle adulthood-rich in the lore of life and living.Not immature like spring, or fast like summer or crabbed and old like winter either. Autumn is extremely poised after knowing some divine secret of the Gods. There is an undertone of triumph in autumn, something which is not seen even in the happiest of springs. The world is past all moods and pettiness in this enchanting season. The exhilration of having been born on beautiful earth is translated in all the hues of autumn.
"Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean.
Tearsfrom the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy Autumn-fields,
And thinking on the days that are no more"
-The Princess by Tennyson

does chennai actually see explicit change of seasons..i feel it is tough to spot changes in seasons except variations in hot and cold in concrete cities..in terms of spotting autumn on tree and other natural fauna..it is more so difficult in cities..

its a really really lovely pic!!! :) and autumn according to me is a gift we've been denied... a beautiful, yet melancholic, painfully wonderul time when your heart cries just out of the sheer loveliness that abounds!!! :)
My kindred soul... you would understand... :)
The race of Joseph belongs to the spirit of Autumn! :)
now, even we are becoming(if we are) victims of generational slares..saying "good time are our times... and good ways are our ways.." like our parents used to say their childhood days in village was better then us(/TV age kids)..
autumn is result of change.. and no two autumn are same.. lifestyle changes are mostly for good. and always always- fairtales, walking along side nature, old-world charm,..and kannadasan songs, illayaraja + SPB music, kishorkumar + m. rafi.. will always find new generations followers...
I once read.."We are not complete if we are not connected. It is only when we are connected that things make sense. Only when things make sense, we can form an opinion."
enjoy the changing autumn with pc games.. and //quality and ethereal in beauty abounding in old-world charm// you have time & energy for both.. and thatz only way(adopting change) for us to connect with genNext...
as the winds will change
and the summer had set with painted leaves
yes now the green ripples turn to gold,
and all the paths are loud with rain sound..
It's a blessing at best
doesn't costing a dime
for all to enjoy
Yes --- it's autumn time...
