The Beauty of the Monsoon - June 2003

Dated: June 14th 2003

Dear Friends,

It's a pleasure to write to U all after a really long gap................. the sultry Summer with it's high humidity levels, heat and sweat has finally given way to the wonderful Monsoon !!

A welcome relief, although a bit late than the usual ............ it's an excellent feeling to see the dark, heavy Monsoon clouds overhead even when Ur Meteorological Department predicts an unusually late and deficient Monsoon season !!

The Rains bring along a welcome sight............... suddenly the Trees turn into their lovely greens, the flowers seem to awake to a fresh delight and to add to it.............. the lovely scent of the rain-water quenching the thirsty Earth...............which seemed to wait all eternity for this moment !!

The very feeling of being a witness to this phenomena of "The Elements Get-to-gether" makes U realize that Nature has a lot of surprises in store for U ............. and U are yet to unravel the mysterious ways of Nature !!

Even as I write this, there are rain drops making their presence felt ............ and little children with their Umbrellas and Raincoats ...............(even when their Mummies shout and try to restrain them)...... are enjoying the lovely showers !!

As usual, a lot of people would be planning to take a break from their routine life and plan a visit to a Waterfall.........Lonavala, Khandala, Bushi Dam........ is one of those favourite locations !! It's an opportunity to be a part of nature and witness it's strength & beauty in full force !!

The rains also brings a Romantic touch to those who rely heavily on their HEARTS !!

I am reminded of a beautiful song by Lionel Richie......... it's definitely something which touches Ur heart......... and reminds U of that someone special......... !!

Let me try and capture a part of the Lyrics...................Here it goes...................................

Hello,……........Is it me Ur looking for
Cos I wonder where U are................ & I wonder what U do !!
Are U somewhere feeling lonely..........Or is someone loving U….??!!

Tell me how to win Ur Heart..........., Cos I haven’t a clue
But let me start by saying...............I LOVE U !!

SO, Moral of the Story.................:

GET WET & ENJOY THE WONDERFUL SHOWERS........... PREFERABLY WITH SOMEONE U LOVE !!

With Lots of Love,
And eagerly waiting to hear from All of U !!
