rain and welcome the season in delight. There is a positive energy and people
are happy with the cool breeze blowing in the hair. It is fascinating
indeed.
Monsoon Blues
But more often rains are like guests. We wait for the
rain and when it arrives; it feels good in the beginning. As the rain continues,
the feeling of freshness and the positive vibes wears off gradually. It gives
way to irritation.
During the monsoon the trains and buses get late.
Water-logging around the city makes it difficult to walk. The potholes make
travelling by car or two-wheeler hard. Muddy water puddles, mosquitoes, and
staying indoors are the other hassles one feels in the monsoon. This way we
feel the monsoon blues and face it regularly, isn’t it? Yes, we do.
Old Hindi songs give us a good reason to love the
monsoon no matter what.
