While sitting at my table, i saw the breeze blow strong and leaves fall. And i was struck by the fact that this falling was happening at the same time as i see plants on the balcony bursting with flowers and new leaves. So went checking online for what really constitutes the seasons here, at home.

Some filtered facts: There are 12 months in the basic hindu calendar
Month Name (Maas)        Month day (Gregorian)    Season (Ritu)
Chaitra                           March 22                     Vasanta
Vaisakha                         April 21                       Grishma
Jyeshta                          May 22                        Grishma
Aashaadha                      June 22                       Varshaa
Shraavana                       July 23                        Varshaa
Bhaadra                          August 23                    Sharat
Aashvina                       September 23                Sharat
Kaartika                        October 23                    Hemanta
Agrahayana                   November 22                 Hemanta
Pausha                         December 22                 Sisir
Maagha                         January 21                    Sisir
Phalguna                     February 20                    Vasanta

The association of seasons or ritus with months is based on religious calendars (including the Rashtriya Panchang, which has Vaisakha as the first month) – the six ritus of two months each constitutes the rituchakra (the cycle of the seasons): Grishma (summer), Varsha (rains), Sarat (autumn), Hemanta (late autumn), Sisir (dew/winter), Vasanta (spring).

I dont think this still answers how we have the simultaneous dying and coming alive of plants...
