At last it started raining here! After playing a month's hide-n-seek,the splendid monsoon has finally arrived. Whoa!what a scotching summer it had been!
Contrary to the popular notion that rains are gloomy and depressing, I believe rains bring a lot of cheer and vitality, especially to tropical countries like India. This is the time to connect to the nature - tune into the cute melodies from a varied species of birds & observe the tiny little saplings sprouting from the moist soil. This is also the time to go on a 'dragon-fly-chase' mission. I can go on and on..there are so many little joys that the rains bring with them. Its as if the whole place has suddenly come alive!
Somethings I love to do when its pouring like cats and dogs.
a) Cozy up with a good book, taking breaks to watch the rain.
b) Listen to some nice, loud and lively music
c) Have hot mirchi bajji + ginger tea...yum.. & a delightful conversation with a loved one.
d) Go for a stroll with my husband, soon after its stops raining.
Oh lovely! Its raining out there, even as I type this blog! Let me rush out!
Catch you later folks..

Rain, indeed, is great to witness if it were ONLY rains. In most cities in India, rain brings with it puddles of water, mosquitoes and traffic jams. So, yes, rainy season is great to experience - but like most great experiences, it comes with a price :)
Different people have different perceptions on rain. Probably the farmers find rain as a boon and the people who commute the whole day might find the same very disgusting.... Nevertheless we should not forget that most of our agriculture depends on rains which provides FOOD for our existence :)
@Prashant : true mosquitoes and puddles of water are a menace! Rains minus these menaces would be divine!
@Jaanu : You hit the bull's eye! Whatever be the perceptions, the bottom line is, rains are indispensable for countries like India.
WoW! Its awesome! You know this is called sensitivity. Sensitivity to our sourroundings and how beautiful they are..and once we start being receptive to these.. its a feast to our eyes (I mean senses) is n`t it? Imagine...a walk after a down pour.. lush thick green trees, like they got washed cleanly..wow! Great to see you mentioning it!
@Sridhar : thank you! :)
It IS beautiful to watch the rain rejuvenating the thirsty earth! And our economy needs it too! LOL ;)
