Sweatin Is Out..!!


Come may end , all i hear and see is the wait for breakin of monsoons....???

I still remember Lagaan , Bhuvan and his team's wait for the rains to till the land , I m sure Rahul's team did pray at Chittagong too (they sound better as Rahul's team than Indian cricket team )...luckily for them their prayers were answered....




Durin childhood rains meant the begining of school.The funny smell the first rain would bring , the paper boats and yep fishing in the paddy field floods , garam pakodas, thats all monsoon were all about.I never knew rains made big news , all i remember is dad waiting to watch the INSAT pics during the news .

Its an electronic world now,and so the older methods of speculating the break of monsoon is even more complicated.One click and you get hourly image of the sky above...thanks to ISRO scientists...I m sure met dept also does ve a methodology to find it out and they do predict it almost accurately...



Rains aint about power cuts , bad roads , traffic jams like most of city dwellers think (esp Bangloreans...10 mins of rain can flood the car parks there)...neither is it bout farmers wait to prepare the land....Its more than that...!!

Other than marking the end of sales of mineral water ( and sending Bisleri back to mountains ),monsoon this year shall be about level of water in reservoirs and how Kumarswamy and Karunanidhi negotiate the rapids of Kaveri . Its arrival shall not only mean end of drinking water worries for local muncipalties but also inspire and trigger artists , poets and writers creations.


From what I understand monsoon delays major construction projects , and its arrival does decide the crop status ,also a good agricultural yield will mean lesser imports .All in all other than the bookies betting on Chittagong tests , the daily traders at Dalaal streets are the ones for whom monsoon shall matter most.

While for news readers the weather report shall be watched more attentively , the netas will be cashing on the feel good factor during a good monsoon. Come rain and you get 25% extra cola in the pet bottle , magzines shall now come with a polythene cover and the AC manufacturer shall come with discount offers.

With monsoon aint insignificant anymore , gear up yourself ! Its not evoparation condensation and precipitation any more...!!

As for me.... m gonna grab ma jacket , n ride ma unicorn into the western ghats...!! Sensex , GDP , Inflation ...cmon give yourself a break...ride into the clouds , with gushing water , fog ,drizzle and rain forest...Monsoon truly is lifeline...!!!
