Enjoying Extreme...



I am inspired to write this post from the weather around me in Mumbai. As we all know that there are lot of rains in Mumbai as usual. This is june going on, the month in which I use to sweat like hell with all coolers, ACs and what not.This is the month which is not only hated by me but by the entire north India. It is the hottest month of the year. But this time I'm enjoying it-thanks to Mumbai. Monsoon has arrived here on time and it's raining here since last 1 week. I haven't seen Mr. Sun since then. Now it has become my habit to keep umbrella in my bag when i leave for the classes daily. Another good thing is that when if it's not raining then it's cool breeze which is always there and soothes you.
On the other hand, most of the regions in India are facing scarcity of rainfall. Regions like UP, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi are facing summers in its extreme face where it's declared that only 93% rains will be there as compared to last year. I heard from my friends and loved ones that there are 8-10 hrs power cut and no rains. Certain state governments have urged to their citizens to not to use ACs in the workplace and at home so that power can be made available to all. I'm not interested in telling you any weather forecast for entire India. But the same conditions i faced till last year when i was vigorously gearing up for CAT.
So i want to pray to God for rains in entire India since my friends and loved ones stay in those rainfall deficit regions. And above all, many homes are dependent on monsoon in thousands of villages of India. On this ocassion, i want to recall the song from Lagaan which all of us should sing "kale megha kale megha paani to barsao.bijuri ki talwar nahin boondo ke baan chalao". And for Mumbaikars there's a song from The Weather Girls "It's raining men , Hallejulah". Enjoy !!!!
