Town-bred and much-travelled, ten-year-old twins, Sharat and Shishir, are most unhappy when they are sent to their grandparent's home in their ancestral village while their parents are away in Africa for a year. Nor do they think much of their young cousin, Varsha. But, in spite of Varsha's needling and several adventures along the way, they gradually settle down in the village with its beautiful surroundings and in their new school ? all under the loving care of their grandparents, uncle and aunt. As they watch the seasons change, they are astonished to learn that India has six seasons (ritus). With joy and wonder they discover each season along with their unique links to music, art, poetry, food and fun-filled festivals. As the days and months change, so too, do the boys. The once-dreaded year away is over all too soonƒ
