A newsletter has announced the arrival of spring, citing the gentle chirping of birds and warm air as signs of the season. The publication noted that the change in season evokes the timeless words of Malayalam poet N. N. Kakkad.

The newsletter included a line from Kakkad's poem: "കാലമിനിയുമുരുളും..വിഷുവരും വർഷം വരും..തിരുവോണം വരും..പിന്നെയൊരോ തളിരി." The poem reflects on the cyclical nature of time and the recurrence of festivals and seasons.

The announcement expressed anticipation for the coming summer, describing it as a "brand new beautiful summer." The newsletter did not provide additional context about the publication or its readership.
