Monsoon Diaries

One afternoon, the sunnier, clearer, bluer sky of my existence vanished

Slowly and steadily, sorrowful and regretful dark grey clouds began to cover the sky

Lightning strikes during a thunderstorm I was terrified as the winds blew as quickly as they could and my vision blurred

There was anarchy, gridlock, cancelled flights, and stopped trains

The news networks were warning people not to leave their homes, but as usual, not many people were dancing on the perilous streets

The lights went out, but thank God the generator was still running!

Wait a second! I was only daydreaming

I discovered that the monsoon is not only a season that lasts from June to September but rather occurs every day when I opened my yellowed monsoon journal and flipped its pages.

 Worried about not reaching certain milestones in life

forgetting to laugh, to light up, to take in the beauty of nature

As our collective emotions ride a rollercoaster,

Rarely do we never notice it

Our lives are impacted by the changing of the seasons

Let's fervently and enthusiastically celebrate each season

Sadly, you realize that you forgot your umbrella and it is pouring

Rain-soaked and drenched as you get home

Imagine that it is the day of a college exam

While writing and remembering the answers, the pitter-patter of the rain may be heard.

The vibrant umbrellas and raincoats that are sold at stores 

We can't decide which one to buy, so we get a black one instead

A source of relief for farmers and a celebration for animals and birds

It's enjoyable to participate in the Jaganath Rath Yatra, and it seems as though God is blessing everyone on earth when it rains

An essential component of the hydrological cycle is rain

We must understand that stopping global warming, climate change, acid rain, and the El Nino impact is urgently necessary

The joy of a monsoon is a calm, beautiful sensation

Let's enjoy the season like kids once again while eating onion pakoras and drinking chai

We can never predict what will occur in our lives

Stay in the now and embrace it as a gift

swiftly filling the pages of your spiral notebook.
