It’s monsoon season and the the feeling of being over-energized overtakes us, bouncing inside us, making us feel like little, carefree toddlers. This is the moment when the smell of light, wet soil rises up our noses, and that cool breeze gently touches our skin. That feeling when the monsoon season is right on our heads, after the harsh, long and scorching glaze of the summer sun and its heat! It gives us the feeling of some kind of unknown and unexpressed happiness, since as we all know, the first role of monsoon is to demolish the burning heat of summer.
When the monsoon is near, it brings about a kind of windy breeze, a cloudy mist and a happy feeling to the gut as it brings out a fantastic view in front of our eyes – moving clouds, splattering rain showers, thunder strikes, trees and leaves making a humble vow, the joy of seeing tiny insects, the dim light giving peace to eyes and above all, a feeling of relief from the burning heat of the sun. Kids and adults alike get into a kind of sleepy mood, wanting to relax in this season.
