Monsoon - Dance of the rain..

Record breaking rains has been the feature of these monsoons but does it man made disaster or is mother nature showing the true place of humans. This monsoon has been worse in some places especially pakistan.

First specially here in Pune we had 1 month drought then when local government was about to declare it as drought affected area it started raining and didn't stop for full 1 month. It is still raining in the north of india and it is in grave danger of being flooded like in Pakistan.



I am amazed by the rains, how immaculately all the ingredients of the nature come together and do the magic called monsoon. over the years everything is going so well planned that not greatest of the managers can do that.

We as Indians are so blased by this gift that we in cities specially never care about it. We only concerned about the percentages of water in the dams and nothing else. It is time when the earth after burning for months gets the time to rest re-energized and ready for quenching the thirst of its true son the farmer.

I once was in my farm with my grandfather. It was very cloudy, there was a big dark cloud hovering over our head. As per my experience which i got by living in most rained place like thane I said it should start rain in few minutes. But he said something which i wasn't expecting, his sentences were '(Wind is too strong to rain)'. I thought age has caught him but to my amusement it didn't and in few minutes all the cloud were gone and we had clear sky.

By above incidence i want to tell the strong bonding and knowledge of the people in the villages have with nature which we could not have. We are concerned with the doing a 'All wet trip' and thats it. We never realize that monsoon is truly a gift from gods nearly 30 crores of them to us but we never cherish them.

My main concern is may be our future generation may not be able to experienc this thanks to the Climate change. We have to do something to make sure that this magic contiues for hundreds of years to come.
