Monsoon Clouds

What monsoon means to an Indian..

Entertainment July 4, 2007 by Kartik Subramaniam

Monsoon for the year 2007 arrived without much delay and brought a much-awaited relief for people for different reasons. The coming of the monsoon could be compared to a rainbow that has so many colors, each adding to the beauty of the rainbow!

The South of India experiences relief from the heat as it gets draped in dark grey clouds of rain clouds as the monsoon slowly spreads across the country. It starts with Kerala- God’s own country, which gets drenched and appears as if the entire state is draped in a blanket of green! Soon the other states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamilnadu get their share as the clouds proceed to the Central and North of India.

After the sweltering heat which beats the plains of North India and takes the mercury to unthinkable proportions, the rains bring with them a fresh lease of life and renewed vigour. The farmers in the Ganga basin of the north till their lands and wait for the rains to water their crops.

And their prayers are answered when moisture-laden clouds thunder and quell the thirst of parched lands. This year too the rain gods were merciful, and the rains arrived in good time- an answer to countless prayers!

Monsoon Couples

Just as the monsoon triggers a fresh lease of life, making things verdant around us, it also infuses a certain mood that sets the stage for couples to express their love! Many couples find it to be the season for romance and the expression of their affection and love. The clove-scented air, overcast skies, slight drizzle, and wafts of cool breeze serve as a catalyst in the reaction of romance!

But just as one thinks of the brighter side of the picture, one cannot ignore the havoc it unleashes. One cannot just play with the elements, and this is proved true when one sees the havoc monsoons cause in the form of floods and excessive rains.

Several villages are washed away, and numerous parts of various cities get submerged in rainwater. Potholes in roads, open drains, and waterlogged streets add to the misery of the people.

Although just like an evolving DNA strand, people too slowly evolve and adapt to the changing scenario by taking the respective precautionary measures as the Monsoons come by!

In the recent past, the deluge witnessed by Mumbai and the inundation of several parts of Gujarat and West Bengal has brought sad and disappointing images to one and all. Erratic rains and their varying volumes have begun to become a certain cause for worry. After all, people knew the severity of Mumbai rains in the past, but the intensity on that fateful day a couple of years backbeat all the records of the past.

This year itself, the city has seen some heavy downpours which has resulted in waterlogging in many parts of the city like Chembur and floods in several parts of the state like Amaravathi and Sangli. We need to realize that every act of development has an equal and opposite reaction, and maybe the erratic and heavy rains in certain parts of the country are an indication of this ‘fact’.

All said about the monsoon; it would be fair to say that it has its dark and bright sides. For India, the monsoon is like an elixir which clings to many things like agriculture and several secondary industries. With it is attached the livelihood, fortunes, and lives of countless people from different walks of life.

Hoping that the global growth’s impact on climatic decadence slows down, lets’ say a silent prayer and hope that the monsoon arrives the next year in the same manner as its predecessors and bring with it a fresh wave of hope and promise!
