Rainy season is the most awaited season in almost all parts of India. Rain takes away the heat, sweat and humidity and bring along the cloudy sky, fresh moist air, aroma of wet soil and frogs.
But as we say nothing is perfect, so is the rainy season.. with the pleasant atmosphere, there are certainly the things that can turn your mood up-side-down.
But as we say nothing is perfect, so is the rainy season.. with the pleasant atmosphere, there are certainly the things that can turn your mood up-side-down.
Below are the few good and bad things which we all come across or experience during the rainy season...
Disclaimer: People expecting something like "I like to walk in rain because nobody can see me crying" can leave the page right now.
1) Good: The First rainfall
No more grilling heat and sweaty skin.. the rainy superhero is here to rescue you, the only chance you get, to go kiddish and take a bath in first natural shower like a retard.

2) Bad: Mud (kichad) and Potholes
Say bye bye to your cool slip-ons and air breathing walkers, walking is not fun anymore.. just one rainfall and the road is full of potholes and potholes full of mud.. ready to spill on your cloths and spoil your mood.

3) Good: Chai
If you are an Indian, then the first thing that comes in your mind with rain, should be the garama-garam-chai. No matter where you are.. you can always find a cup of tea near you to please yourself.

4) Bad: Mosquitoes
These little bastards exists on earth just because God cannot see us enjoying the lovely weather for free. Keep itching urself (like Mahesh Bhatt) in the day-time, to return the favor of humming music these mosquitoes played in your ears, all night long.

5) Good: Bhajiya and Bhutte
No need to explain how devine it is to enjoy mom-made Bhajiya (with pudeena chatani) at home when its raining heavily outside. If you are not a couch-potato and a long drive in rain is fun for you.. Masala bhutta is there to accompany you on every highway.

Still want a reason to eat high-on-calories bhajiya during rains? Just break a bhajiya into two and see the steam coming out... I bet you will fall in love with this oily food, all over again.
6) Bad: Allergies
*making weirdest faces before sneeze* aaaannnddd...here we go... Accchhhhhoooooo... *rub your running red-nose and slightly take away the wet hankerchief*
Yes.. it happens with almost all of us.
7) Good: Free of cost Wash-n-clean
Whether its your bike, car, lawn or your bungalow, a drizzle will take away all the dirt and make them shine and glow again (the way Yami Gautam glows in fair-n-lovely ad).
8) Bad: Traffic Jams
Ever had situation of you sitting in your car or on your bike, stuck in huge traffic jam ..which is moving with the speed of snail... feeling helpless.. half drenched... mood crushed so badly that you start cribbing in your head about everything in your life, including your cruel boss, your underpaid job, your control-freak parents, demanding girlfriend, lazy government, Indian cricket team, unbalanced nature, hole in ozone layer and blah blah blah.. Yes? That's how The God of Rains enjoys the show sitting upstairs.
9) Good: PICNICS and OUTINGS.. YEYY !!
No matter how old you are, going for a picnic or an outdoor trip with your family/friends is always a good decision. The perfect weather, lot of food and a good place to hangout is all you need to spend a good time with friends/family and also to get new Facebook DPs :)
10) Bad: Cloths takes too long to dry.
Your home is the new Dhobi Ghaat.. you will see cloths spread all over the living room sofa, bedrooms, behind your bathroom doors, corridors and everywhere else. But trust me, putting your underwear in microwave is not a good option. So be prepared, and buy an extra one as a backup or wait for till the clouds to go away.
If I have missed something or if you also have some other experiences with rain (no matter good or bad), do share it with me in the comments below.
Good start avil , you covered almost all points , one more could be "Condition of indian roads gets sooo bad that people cant differentiate between being on-road and off-road."
ReplyDeletePlans get postponed , flights get delayed , and half of the technology freaks jump on saving their phone before saving their head.
Overall , i like the way you presented it (specially the images) , of-course the content could be better but it was very well drafted.
You forgot to write that in Rain, you can go out and Pee on the road and nobody can see you.. ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Avil!
ReplyDeleteThis blog is very well written. But how can you forget one important point - ' Power Cut '. And the time that we get to spend with our family without any disturbance of television or phone ( bad weather + bad networks = good relations ). And one more thing, communication with strangers to overcome the problems of traffic jam and water stagnation.
