Spring arrives with all its beauties

CHITRAL, March 18: The air is fragrant with scents of flowers and plants and even barren lands and mountains are presenting an enchanting view. The spring has arrived with all its charms and beauties.

As in winter people go out of Chitral and those remaining behind are confined to the four walls of their houses, the spring has attracted them back and out of the confinement. Now nobody wants to stay inside and everyone is seen enjoying the beauty of the season.

There are the noises of singing and frolicking by youngsters and chirping of birds of all hue and colour. This year, the spring is more colourful because of the unprecedented rain and snowfall in the winter. All areas even the barren mountains are wearing a lush green look.

The blossoming apricots in many parts of the valley have further added to the beauty. Those who are not in Chitral and are outside of the valley can only envy of those who are enjoying the weather.–Waqar Ahmed
