The Indian monsoon is a amazing time in the year when you are taken from a kiln to an aquarium in a matter of few months. While Bollywood inspires dancing in the rain in reality the outside has developed its own ecosystem. During the rains when everything outside drenched in water you are used to sip tea near the window and feel "nature is beautiful". Time for Bollywood rain songs and if you are sensitive types - "mood for poetry". While everyone is watching TV, one amongst you has the urge for "fried pakodas". Your fitness goals are drained down the street and you are 70% water and 30% 'potato onion bhajjiyas'. Your laundry also hasn't dried even after few days. You hang your clothes outside , it rains . You bring them in, it doesn't then you dry them out, it rains again. Eventually your living room is like textile showroom. you cant wear leather shoes neither canvas. You settle for water resistant ones and its awkward, they squeak on the office floor. Yeah, reaching office is an difficult exercise in itself. you use your umbrella against rain but it goes upside down in the wind becoming a satellite dish to your embarrassment.

Wherever you are in the world rains bring the innermost feelings to the fore. An amazing time for poets, writers and your spouses.
