: Required Answer
According to Ruskin Bond’s diary entries, June 24 is the first day of monsoon mist. The hills are concealed by a thick white blanket of mist and filled with utmost silence. From June 25, the real monsoon starts setting in and the entire Nature including human beings, birds, animals and trees welcome it. The first cobra lily rears its head from the ferns.
➝ People get habituated with the monsoon season by August 2. Rain starts drumming on the corrugated tin roofs of their houses. Although there is no storm or thunder, there is just the steady swish of a tropical downpour. Snakes and rodents start coming out of their holes and burrows and they take shelter in roofs, attics and godowns to save themselves from getting wet in the rain water.
➝ March 23 signals the end of winter. The blackest cloud slowly occupies the sky that is followed by a hailstorm. This clears the sky completely and soon a rainbow starts forming. This is one of the best and most splendid sights that anyone could visualize or experience about the beauty of Nature.
