Indian Rain Season

In the end of may we all wait for rainfall in India. Rain has a romance to it; it follows the torrid heat of summer, and brings with it cool winds, fleecy clouds that are quickly chased by the heavy, dark water bearing ones that soon cover the sky like a thick quilt has been drawn over it. Rain brings water, While is life. It refreshes, energizes, feeds the soil and cleanses the air, washes the trees and leaves and sets everything right with the first shower. Rain is the subject of poetry and song. Some of cinema’s most romantic scenes are set against the backdrop of rain. Yet, the rain can destroy and harm and we know that the monsoon, even as we wait for it, brings an element of fear and worry. Clogged roads, overflowing drains and water-logged streets are bad enough.
