Technology is becoming an inseparable part of our lives: PM Modi during Mann Ki Baat

Mann Ki Baat:- Modi Ji , 26 February 2017

My dear countrymen, Namaskar.

Winter is on its way out. Vasant, the season of spring has just started to step into our lives. After the departure of PATJHAD, when old and withered leaves fall, new leaves begin to sprout on the trees. Flowers bloom. Gardens and orchards sport a verdant green. The melodious chirping of birds warms the cockles of our hearts.

Not just flowers, fruits too appear to be shining bathed in the sun rays on tree branches. The flower heads of the summer fruit mango manifest themselves in the spring season itself.

At the same time bright yellow flowers of mustard swaying in their fields kindle hope in the hearts of the farmers. Blossoming of bright red Jungle Flame flowers, better known as Tesu or Palash heralds the advent of Holi.

Amir Khusro has portrayed these moments of change of season in a very interesting manner. Amir Khusro has written:

Phool rahi sarson sakal ban

Ambwa phoote, Tesu phoole

Koyal bole, daar daar,

that is,Behold the mustard blooming everywhere,
all around, Here the inflorescence on the mango tree,

there the Jungle Flame blossoms, The nightingale can’t help but sing merrily on the branches.
