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.

always possible to be with your near and dear ones all the time. That’s why we
