Wheat is a . In the agricultural cycle, particularly in South Asian countries like India and Pakistan, crops are categorized by their growing seasons: Rabi Crops (Winter Crops) Sowing : October to December (post-monsoon). Harvesting : March to June (spring/early summer).

So, while Kharif and Rice celebrated their harvest in the autumn, Wheat slept deep underground. He waited for the air to turn crisp and for the fierce rains to retreat.
