1. Enjoying the monsoon
Answers
Somebody has rightly said that ‘Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain.’ The days of Monsoon do not have to be mundane, sitting indoors & sipping tea. In general, it is perceived that the months of Monsoons are glum and dark, but that is a misconception. Monsoons can be quite pleasurable outdoors and one can enjoy a wide range of activities in the rain. One cannot make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, so get out and get wet.
1) Trekking
The lush green landscapes & clouds kissing the mountains in the monsoons are best experienced on foot. There are immeasurable trekking routes all across the Himalayas and the Western Ghats. Most of the trek routes are best when enjoyed during the Monsoons, with the spatter of rain adding a hint of treble to the symphony of nature.
2) Photography
The dark clouds looming over the sky, and blanketing the surface from the rays of the sun during the Monsoons are a delight to the photographer’s eye. Whether you are a professional or an amateur behind the lens the photos that you capture will, without a doubt, be awe-inspiring.
3) Bhuttas
Consuming street food during the months of Monsoon is usually discouraged, but having fresh cobs of fire roasted Bhutta during the rains is a different level of satisfaction. Glazed with rock salt and lime Bhuttas make the perfect companion for a cup of tea in the rain.
4) Sail Paper Boats in Water Streams
Who hasn’t enjoyed sailing paper boats in rain water streams? We have all imagined our paper boats to either be a cruise ship carrying hundreds of people on a journey across a big river, or a powerful warship on a mission to destroy the enemy lines as they sailed along the streams created by the god of rain. Rip out a couple of sheets from an old notebook and revive your forgotten memories.
