Our students had to write their feelings on "Mumbai Rains". This is what one of our students wrote:
Who can resist the cooling showers of rain
after the torrid heat? Our being an agricultural country even our farmers await
the monsoon season.
Mumbai being a coastal area receives rain
from June till September. Come June and
the sky lets down torrents of rain. After
sizzling high temperatures , the rainy
season bring cool gentle and fresh climate. It is glorious season with lush
green trees and feeling of happiness everywhere. Monsoon is a time of great fun especially for
children. Children love to play in puddles,
make paper boats. Also hot tea and pakodas, are enjoyed. But this is good if you are at home tucked in
cozy sofa lazily reading a book. The incessant rains, muddy roads full of
potholes soon steal the joy of the season.
Water logging in most places
affect lives. Lots of diseases spread
through contaminated food and water.
But this year, the story was completely
different. This time the fun of getting soaked to the bone started in July,
draught threatened the city, none of our lakes have been filled yet. It is a
fact that global warming and reckless cutting of trees are causing these
erratic rains.
We really need to take care of our
environment so that we can enjoy many more of our monsoons.
