Question

how did the man feel at the first showing orf rain?

Answer 1

The monsoon is a tropical concept. Something that exists in imaginations of exotic, underdeveloped and far away destinations. I heard stories of torrential rainfall for days on end and it seemed romantic and like something Gabriel Garcia Marquez would create a novel out of. The monsoon is defined as a “seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation”. Could the reversal of winds be somehow linked to a reversal or change in perception?



On one side, the Bombay monsoons are as far away from romantic as you can imagine. This is my first experience of such immense and dramatic rainfall, and it’s only day one. There have been dire floods and rains so strong that houses collapse, however once you move beyond the physical, there seems to be something more emotional connected to rainfall.
