Monsoons have finally arrived in Mumbai much to the respite of many people!! However, i somehow have always had mixed emotions for the rains. Yes, its amazing to get wet in the rains, the smell that emanates from the earth after the first showers is divine. It's really romantic, especially if u have the special one with you to enjoy the rains....walking by the sea while the waves crash on the shore is oh so serene & beautiful. Cuddling up in a blanket, sipping on hot coffee and reading a book all by yourself is pure bliss!
On the other hand, the other emotion that i associate the rains with is sadness & gloom, the sinking feeling within u that comes up every once in a while....the pangs of separation that one feels if your beloved is not around, the loneliness which only seems to deepen coz the rains make u feel so blue. Rains can be very depressing at times.
And then, if u happen to be in Mumbai, another emotion that one can sense is irritation. Yes, the water clogged roads which increase the traffic congestion manifold, the puddles of dirty water which make it impossible for u to walk on the streets without soiling ur clothes, and not to forget the spate of epidemics that strike there after add to the woes of being in a mega city like Mumbai.
So here was what i feel for the monsoons in a nutshell. I would love it if the first emotion that i spoke of could linger for a bit longer...but i suppose that's possible only if i am on a vacation at a small and idyllic location with clouds floating over my head. ;)
It's mid-week already and the countdown to the weekend has begun! Please feel free to share your views on the monsoon and have a gr8 week ahead!! *kisses coming your way*
