Nitya Prakash

Nitya Prakash: Indias author, motivational speaker and HR trainer. The truth is never as painful as discovering a lie. A boy who loved Autumn. A girl who was forever October. We Indians have to keep aside our December for friends who’ve settled abroad. Everyone is visiting. Everyone wants to party.

I like The Eiffel Tower because it looks like steel and lace. October made the leaves on Main Street fit for a crown. They dripped from the trees in jewel-toned shades: yellow and orange and fiery red. The cool wind sent a confetti-cluster of leaves down around us.

Autumn serenades the breeze into dancing the cha cha cha; the mountains echo in the background. October sky never looked more charming nor the sublime leaves of the trees so graceful.

October, here’s to you. Here’s to the heady aroma of the frost-kissed apples, the winey smell of ripened grapes, the wild-as-the-wind smell of hickory nuts, and the nostalgic whiff of that first wood smoke.

It was normal for it to rain, but in October — who could forget the rains of October? That which villagers called ‘the rains of October’ was the accumulation of the serenity of such a life.
