happy monsoon

In India, we have 3 seasons. Summer, monsoon and winter. I live in moderate climate zone. So, I can enjoy all the seasons to the fullest. June to September is monsoon.

The newness makes my mind ignited. Greenery all over the earth we see... dew points on the leafs of trees in the morning... freshness in the air after the rain. Looking for the rainbow finishing up the rain and sun looks shyly from behind the skies. The charming atmosphere creates new poets and poetries every year in monsoon.

This are the thoughts come when we get a coffee mug and sit in window looking outside while rain touches the earth. Seriously.. Something unusual, something dreamy happens to the mind at such moments. Onion pakoda and hot tea gets the most of attention of our foodies while raining. Green gown of earth makes our mind go crazy about nature. Outings to the hills, mountains and waterfalls are planned in this period. I think monsoon pulls us towards nature, towards our roots.

This season gets varied response from varied occupational statuses. Farmers love this season. The seed converts into a sprout; that brings pleasure. The grocery shops get their go downs filled... The office going city crowd objects on traffic- getting late to work due to rain. The school and colleges are filled with the new start of academic studies. While food joints of bhajji and tea gets occupied, Doctors gets the patients of dehydration and loose motions.

Some people have their own issues with rain. They hate the mud, they hate wet roads, and they even hate the cold-humid environment. People wear raincoats, gumboots, and uses umbrella to cover from rain. Person who hates getting wet in rain haven’t enjoyed their childhood. As a child, one must enjoy making paper boats and looking at frogs in those rain made small ponds. Today, recollecting the memory of that innocence of riding a boat in water still leaves a smile on face.

Rain comes for spreading joy and freshness. This season, is worth giving attention. If you are still sitting in front of your laptop or smartphone, I would suggest you to go, see the surroundings, and see some nature friendly spots. Let your inner poet get wake up. Create. Enjoy. Happy monsoon!
