MONSOON ........"different feeling every time"

"experience every drop"

“The month of tears”. That’s what I call it. This instigated from the stories my granny use to tell me when I was a kid, that the rain drops are tears of god. He cried so much because of our sins that puddles, ponds, wells, etc could get flooded with so much water. Ha! That wasn't true, because I knew that the rain was the result of the evaporation that poured down in form of water.

There were many legends that came about like when lighting use to occurred god was in mood of clicking our snaps. Or when the thundering took place, god happens to throw containers down, as he was busy cooking food in the kitchen. And many more stories, huh!! ……..Never ending ones ……Etc…etc… so many more tails came about with the  lovely rainy season.

“Rain”- the season of romance, fun and pleasure. That’s the most waited month by me and I guess many more who love the rain. I love the rains as it comes with the mood of laziness and sluggishness. Yes!! I would love to be lazy. As this is the only time of the year, which gives me time to snuggle in the bed with my head and body ducked under the blanket, sleeping the full day.

This is not only the thing why I love rains but there also another reason. The shower time, wow!!!...... No matter how many times you take bath each day, I bet you, you never enjoyed it as you enjoy wetting yourself in the rains.

The scene during the rains is so pleasant, as you see kids, youngsters, and people indulging themselves in some other activities related to rains. Kids run down the streets yelling, screaming enjoy the essence of rains, making boats, fishing, and cycling etc. while the mothers engage themselves in the kitchen making hot food stuff like “bajjas” “hot coffee” which adds to the excitement of rainy season. As the rains restricted people to go out frequently, the older members of the family stay back and sit along with their friends and family make the most of the time joking and talking. For the couples the rains adds a spark of romance in their love story.

Rains not just satisfying you but also make you enjoy every bit of it. But it’s also necessary to be safe during the rains. “The rains give you a wet experience, for which you would never want to dry yourself.”

Many more days and months of monsoon are yet to come enjoy them have a happy rainy season!!!!!!!!!! a different feeling every time
