Just imagine for a moment, how would you feel if there was a fifth season of the year? I would just love it if I was given the power to create a new season. I would name it ‘The season of pleasure’, as it would have the whole year’s pleasure and happiness in it.

This particular season would take place all over the globe in the months of June, July and the first 15 days of August.

There would be every fruit and vegetable we could possibly think of growing in this season, including the very rare ones that grow only in certain places. The fruits’ juice would melt in our mouths and increase our pleasure and happiness.

The world would be such a wonderful place if there could be a ‘season of pleasure’

At least four times a day, the sky would change colours in the following order: bright yellow, orange, red, navy blue and in the night the sky would be pitch black with the sounds of sweet birds singing and frogs croaking in the distance.

The stars would shine like newly polished diamonds in the sky. And on the coastal areas it would look as if diamond-like stars are raining upon the black carpet of water. We would feel as if we could just reach out and grab the stars in a fisherman’s net.

In the morning, kids will see all the animals of their dreams come out to meet them and they would pester their parents to stay out and not go inside until the animals would go back to their homes in the forest.

Hunting would be strictly banned in this season. All the people would be amused by the sight of the transformation of the colours which would change after every four to five hours during the day. All day children would plead with their parents to let them stay out in the open so they could enjoy the breathtaking sight of the colours transforming.

There will also be countless festivals held in a particular week and during that week, people would be off from work and the city would stay awake for the whole week. So during that week, every city in all the continents would turn into ‘The cities of light’.

There would be a huge variety of food in the festivals and the festivals would be held on streets, societies, beaches, parks and also in private places. People can also choose to host feasts at their houses for family and friends to celebrate the pleasure of this season.

Such a season will amuse people of all ages, it will lower down the level of stress and bring peace and happiness to all the people around the globe.

This season should also be called “The season of togetherness”, as it would unite all families. 

I really wish for this season to exist as I am all in favour of peace, pleasure and happiness in this world.
