Let's March

The third month of the year spells excitement and merriment to most of us. We have lots of reasons to say so, but we have also a bunch of worries when March comes.

March starts officially or unofficially the summer. Sea, sun and sand co-exits this month compared to any other time of the year. The temperature gets hotter. Everyone wants to go to the beach to evade the rising heat. Family picnics here and there. Mountain climbing for nature lovers.

It is also the time for graduation. To the gradeschoolers, it would be exciting to play all day without getting worried of not getting good grades. To the teenagers, they would surely miss the most memorable part of a student's life. To the college graduates, it would be another challenge for them to face the real world. Bottomline, something has to end to start a new beginning.

This month is also the fire prevention month. Haven't you noticed when we have this celebration, more conflagrations occur in our communities. Brought about by the heat which is unmanageable compared to the other months. To some extent, people not getting cautious of precautionary measures to prevent it.

It is also the time for summer ailments. Sore eyes, sun burns , itchiness etc. But with proper hygiene there is not much to be scared of.

Who would like to be left behind? Let's march to the beach, to the aisle of the auditorium to get the diplomas, to a fire-free community and to summer disease free populace.
