As clouds begin covering the sky and make the sun hide behind them, the surroundings get an altogether different shade of greenery and get highlighted more than ever. The temperature is neither too cold nor too hot; it is simply great. The monsoon brings in with it lovely raindrops and rainbows beyond any doubt to satisfy all of our senses. The aroma of the dry earth that has been quite recently been sizzled by first rain – monsoon has its own untellable delights, regardless of whether it accompanies irritants like long jams on
Therefore, in the fanaticism of one of my favorite season, sharing here the most amazing things about the monsoon:
Travel cheap, very cheap!
Yes!! Most of the accommodations all around the world are available at discounts. A fewer crowd gives you more privacy to do whatever you feel like!
Ride or walk in the rains
If you don’t mind the tiny drops of rain splashing across your face when you whiz thru the wind, the green and the lush grass, the singing birds, the swinging trees, the soothing breeze are a few of the temptations only a few can avoid. The hostellers will understand this feeling more, I guess!!
Hot Tea and Samosas/Pakoras
The time comes to a standstill as you drink a cup of tea, particularly
The first drop of rain touches the ground
The aroma of dust after the first rain is not liked by a handful. And when it happens, romance spreads all around and changes our lookout on everything. It also makes an ideal scene for dance in the rain. This is why most Bollywood romantic movies include rain. As kids we used to do it more often (when I was staying at PG we enjoyed a lot during
Catching up with hobbies and interests
Books, listening to music, painting, photography etc. it cuts you off from the social media and the world and encourages you to spend time with yourself. The joy of reading, painting listening to music is very different. And I think most of us who love this season must have tried their hand on photography so does every professional photographer.
Rainbow
Kids love it the most and grownups secretly admire it. One of the most impressive nature’s miracle, it simply just lifts up the spirit.
Think
You get the chance to sort out your thoughts by thinking for hours cozied up in your bed about your life plans, friends, school/college/office, kids. You gear yourself for the challenges ahead.
Do let me know, how you feel about the post in the comments section.
Until next post!!
Enjoy the rest of the monsoon days!!
A great post. I never thought there would be things to like about the monsoon. In the movies, all you see is sheets of rain. All you think about is the destruction that the rains bring. But you’ve painted a pretty picture about the great things about monsoons. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoyed it…
Great post! Lovely photos.. hope you had a great time!
Yes I did!! Thanks..Hope you liked the post
I agree that the monsoon rains can be a good time of quiet reflection. I have never been in a monsoon, nor have I tried adrak tea, but I would love to sometime.
you can try adarak(ginger)tea during winters too, its really good.
Rain can be so soothing and relaxing!Plus sometimes your inner kid wants to come out and play!
We are on the same page here!! 🙂
I never thought this would be a good time for travel! Makes sense since its so rainy!
If will check, in most of the places prices fall. So why not!! You don’t have to deal with a fuzzy weather.
You definitely shared the positives of what could be a rather damp situation! I find if I embrace the rainy season instead of fight it, I enjoy it more. Tea, books, blankets, museums…there certainly are lots of things that can be enjoyed.
There will be always consequences of heavy rains I too Know that, but as you said this post was about the brighter side of the rain. Hope you enjoyed it.
I love the rain, it’s a great time to practice mindfulness. Sat watching it is something I love to do ?
Couldn’t agree more!!
