A newsletter has announced the arrival of spring, featuring a poem by the late Malayalam poet N. N. Kakkad. The publication noted that the gentle chirping of birds and warmth in the air signal the change of season, with summer approaching.

The newsletter included Kakkad's lines in Malayalam: "കാലമിനിയുമുരുളും..വിഷുവരും വർഷം വരും..തിരുവോണം വരും..പിന്നെയൊരോ തളിരി," which evoke the cyclical nature of time and festivals such as Vishu and Thiruvonam.

The poem reflects on the passage of seasons and the renewal of life, aligning with the newsletter's theme of seasonal change. The publication expressed anticipation for the coming summer.
