Mumbai Monsoon: Right here and right there
Well, monsoon showers in full swing, incessant rains continue and that's how the days here are going nowadays. Several parts of the city waterlogged, city traffic disrupted, local trains running behind schedule. No surprise please, it happens in this so called financial capital of India. Every year. No matter how MMRDA and BMC tries their best, it happens. By the way, no blames. And if you have to, you have to blame on the geography.
You know what, i like this season here in mumbai, but i don't like rainy season in Manipur. Here as it comes after hot April, May, June months, it serves kind of as a respite from the heat for mumbaites. Of course, like many people would feel, these rain showers from above make me feel dull and lazy. But at least i am trying not to be pressed down by this laziness anyway.
You know, whether you like it or not, everything you see around you in this world by their nature is not absolute. Down here monsoon creates chaos, or a respite from the heat or for farmers and growers it's a godsend boon from above. But surprisingly, in the north and northeast part of the country, a fear of an advent of a drought seems imminent.
In Manipur, the situation is already more serious. The SPF led government has already announced Manipur as a drought hit state. Of course, Central government is yet to approve of the drought hit status, by the way. However, it's a sad thing to see lands hard and dry even in the second week of July when normally paddy plants are grown at this time of the year. The other day I called up my mother and asked about the fields and rains. My mom said sadly, 'Ibungo, not even a drop of rain has fallen from the sky so far. All the fields are hard and dry. They're already tilled and ready but the rain hasn't arrived yet.' And for sure it's going to pose a serious problem in the near future if this trend continues further.
Conclusion: when we are thirsty, we quench our thirst by having water. But how thirsty these rain-starved lands would have been when rains haven't arrived on time and delayed for so long? I hope rain gods must be listening.
