The Rains

The monsoons in Mumbai creates waterlogging in...Image via Wikipedia
The much awaited monsoons have given a relief that we were all praying and hoping for, though it does not make much of  a difference to the pupils who are preoccupied with other things ( you can keep on guessing what); things that are more important than just the weather.
These past couple of days have been filled with rain and rain and more rain . . . and this is the time when one should be outdoors. The zero visibility, the puddles of water and not forgetting the water logging that our city ( and most of the country) has to face. Wading through waist deep water is a common sight, pushing the two wheeler practically submerged is another sight. Apart from this slight discomfort, the rains are a unique feature of nature, not that other features are not ! !

With the onset of heavy showers comes the time to put on the raincoat, the gumboots and a conveyance and one is set to enjoy the life giving rain. Splashing through water, dripping all over, trying to see through the rain; all are moments that you can never forget and the best part is sitting in a restaurant, sipping a hot soup, a coffee maybe and through the bay window, watching the dripping world pass by.Everything and everyone seems to be washed off the dirt accumulated through the hot summers and nature appears in all its pristine glory....green takes on a darker shade, the sky a cleaner blue and all around there is a hype of activity. The very spores seem to sing the glory of the rains.
Talking about singing ! Prose, poetry and music are arts that express varying moods. A lot of music has been written, sung about the rain. Some are sad, some peppy and others that lift the mood if one is trapped in a room due to the heavy downpour ! Make the most of the rains this season as the weatherman says the rains are going to be plentiful. Life is beautiful ! Enjoy every moment of it ! And for that rain connexion, here are some links for you to investigate and enjoy ! This should keep you busy till the next posting . . .till then . . . .
