India's romance with the monsoon dates back to history. Recent news reports indicate that the Monsoon could hit the Andaman and Nicobar islands in 3 days time. But there is still no news when it will first descend in Kerala...the first entry point into mainland India before it winds its way up till the spectacular display at Cherrapunji, (which used to record the highest rainfall in the world earlier).I remember my childhood days, when school would open after summer and that would be when the Monsoons would begin. Opening days, were typically wet, filled with puddles and our time was spent sitting indoors looking forlornly at the slushy mess of what used to be our beloved playground. Over the years, I learnt to love the Monsoon - cuddled up with a favourite book sitting inside looking out as the Monsoon danced her customary dance. Some years when there was no Monsoon, India wept as her farmers suffered as that brought in drought.
This year, a great Monsoon is expected and Iam waiting...Waiting to celebrate the rains...
