Monsoons are here !!

Monsoon

Who doesn’t love the smell of wet soil after the first rain? Or how everything looks so fresh, vibrant and clean after a downpour? Monsoons have always been associated with a lot of things – umbrellas, raincoats, paper boats, water logging, slow traffic, hot pakoras and yummy khichdi. The ideal way to spend a rainy day is lazing around in the house with a book and a steaming cup of tea or coffee. Forget television: it’s the perfect time to relive the golden era of Indian film music with the likes of Mukesh, Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle on radio or music records. 

This year, the monsoons have arrived on time. Kerala, on the southern coast, received its first rains of the season on Saturday, June 1. The Indian Meteorological Department also confirmed that large parts of adjoining Tamil Nadu witnessed rains, reinforcing the fact that the monsoon is finally upon us. Last year, the monsoon came to Kerala four days after the June 1 forecast. But it was a good season, with bumper harvests, especially of rice, cotton and sugar. Surplus production of cotton led to robust exports while sugar output exceeded demand. Other parts of India will experience the rainy season by the second week of June. 

The best thing to do when it pours is to do nothing at all. We owe it to ourselves to slow down a bit, to savor the little joys of life and stop running. Everything can wait - deadlines, work and clients. It’s perfectly fine to take out a few moments from your hectic schedules for yourself. And a rainy day is the perfect excuse. When you stop racing against the clock for once, you begin to realize what you’ve been missing out on. It’s spending time with your loved ones. You want to be home with your family, enjoying quality time with them rather than just eating together at the dinner table every night. Then there are times when you come home so late that you have to eat alone.
