It has been two months since I posted the last blog so it was about the right time I update my memories. This blog is about weather, I am going to write about my favourite season of the year the monsoons .I intent to write exclusively on the coastal rainfall where entire 3 months in a year it is like Chirapunji .Not to worry folks its isn’t about how much cm of rainfall we receive but its more about all the good stuff of monsoon. I want to discuss this in 3 sections:
Section 1-Monsoon of my childhood days: We would pray as kids that it would rain continuously and the collector declare a rain holiday, the paper boat races on the sloppy areas of the corridors, the secretly getting wet in rain , jumping in the mud filled pits, finding colourful frogy in the water, cancellation of the dreadful assembly in morning on account of rain, the rain football matches-where diving in mud is compulsion even though you might not have saved a single goal!!!The colourful umbrellas, the oversized raincoats, the rainy season was like a part and parcel of a happy childhood J
Section 2-Monsoon of my college days: The prayer for holiday is always priority number one, the hot coffee and wafers/charmuri at Seetanna’s , the fake sick leave, standing in front of window and watching the rain pour itself graciously on the gently swaying and happy trees, the nights spent watching thunder and lightning commandingly striking in air, and one thing about rains is that it always rains at that particular time either when you enter or leave the college and when your leaving the college its always a hard rule that you compulsorily get wet in rain even though you have an umbrella in bag !
Section 3-Monsoon after college life: Praying for holiday as usual, chatting long hours with friends as shopping plans are cancelled on account of rain, getting totally drenched in rain to bring back all the good old childhood memories, listening to people who seem to curse the untimely rains, getting stuck in traffic for long hours due to blockage caused due to rains(not a happy feeling though),but all this doesn’t bring down my love for the most awaited most loved season of the year “the monsoon” .
