rainy seasons

Rains are a boon and blessing. They are a rare gift of God to mankind. They bring prosperity, rich harvest, happiness and joy. However, excess of everything is bad. It is equally true of rains. If they are in excess, they may result in floods, widespread suffering and loss. But generally, rains are welcome after the hot and sultry weather of summer.

They bring welcome relief and revival of agricultural activities. It is said that mercy droplet as the gentle rain from heavens. Scarcity of rain results in drought, famine and spells of suffering.

India depends for its prosperity on rich and timely arrival of monsoon. July to’ September are the months of the rains and monsoon. India is an agricultural country” and water is vital for realizing full potential of agriculture. And rains are the biggest and the cheapest source of water for our agriculture and other needs. Even otherwise, rain is always welcome as it gives joy, relief from heat and a new lease of life to plants, animals and other creatures.

This year I had a very pleasant and “memorable experience of a rainy day. This day I will never forget. It has left an indelible impression on my young mind. This was the day when my school had re-opened after the summer vacation in July. The taints were already late by a week or ten days. People were anxiously waiting for the rain and the arrival of the monsoon. They were praying the rain-gods to be merciful. The days were unbearably hot, sultry and long. Outside it was really scorching in the sun. People ventured outside only when it was necessary, People relished cold-drinks, ice-creams and cool air of the air-conditioners in their homes. But only a few could afford these comforts and luxuries.

I was going to my school in the morning on foot. It was quiet hot and uncomfortable, I relaxed my steps as I began to sweat but soon the sky was overcast with big, black and dusky clouds. They were thick and huge like mountains. They were so pleasing to look at.
