MONSOON LOVE
Storizen|July 2021
Who does not love the drops of rainfall and the earthy smell after rains? After the scorching heat of summer days, the drops of rainfall turn out to be a relief from the sweltering heat for every person. I was eagerly waiting for the summer months to pass away. One fine day, when I was engrossed in my work in the afternoon, I noticed insufficient light in my room all of a sudden. I looked at the window where I saw dark clouds hovering over the sky.

MONSOON LOVE

I stopped my work for a while and I started to stare at the outside view for some time. The outside environment was so beautiful that it cannot be explained in words. Dark clouds started spreading all over the sky. A high-rise building which was not so far from my building was half-covered with clouds and it was invisible from a distance.

I got mesmerized by the bewitching view. In a few minutes, it started drizzling and then heavy rainfall started pouring down the earth. The leaves of the trees which had lost their freshness had looked fresh and green again as the heavenly showers fell on every leaf.

An hour ago, the environment was so hot and unbearable. After an hour, the environment changed and it seemed as if mother nature was sending blessings on the earth in the form of rains. It has been more than an hour when the rains did not seem to stop. I extended my hands out of my window to feel the raindrops on my palms and hands. The cold sensation of water drops was soothing me from within. I closed the windows of my rooms and I walked towards my balcony. Standing on the balcony I could get the aroma of tea from my neighborhood which tempted me to make a cup of tea for myself. I went to the kitchen to make an aromatic tea. The aroma of tea and the smell of wet earth were making the ambiance more pleasant.

I poured the hot tea into the cup and walked towards my bedroom window to enjoy the sips of hot tea in the beautiful weather. I kept the cup on the bedside table and opened the window. Fresh cold air along with water drops touched my face.
