Waiting for Monsoon Showers....

 Yesterday the weather men have predicted Monsoon showers to begin in the south India in 3 days time which means on the 30th or 31st of this month. This is as per schedule. It is amazing how they come on time every single year. The first showers enter Kerala and then move inwards in a couple of days and Mangalore where I live is on the Kerala - Karnatake border and the monsoon showers begin here 4-5 days after it reaches Kerala. 


There is an expectancy each year as we look forward to the blessed showers that bring hope, joy and a great relief from the sweltering heat of the past months. It is the same each year as we wait for the Monsoon showers ...the whole land scape changes and the streets ,plants,trees, tiled roofs have the washed clean look all through those months.
Monsoons are very heavy here and Mangalore records one of the highest rain falls in the world.But we never seem to get fed up of this great miracle by the nature and wait for it with intense longing year after year...
