Arrival of monsoon in India is an annual phenomenon of overwhelming importance. It had been years, I make it a point to witness it as the periodic wind sweeps across the parched Indian peninsula, accompanied with rain-gravid, smudgy clouds fast spreading across the sky and rumbling thunders creating a dramatic scenario.
Dense monsoon clouds descending on my village home in India. The veil of moisture-gravid, nimbus clouds accompanied by roaring winds looks scary, but brings cheer to the parched land, sun-blighted flora and fauna. I enjoy watching the stunning annual phenomenon. And who can deny the fun of drenching in the drizzles after the prolonged summer and getting intoxicated with the vanilla smell of wet earth? I am already feeling nostalgic.
