The rainy season follows summer. It lasts for two months — ‘Ashara and Shravana’. The sky is over cast with clouds. Sometimes it drizzles; sometimes It rains cats and dogs. Trees get fresh water. Ponds and canals are filled with water. Farmers are seen busy in the fields. Roads become full of water. Normal work generally gets disrupted. But, incessant rainfall often causes flood. It also brings some diseases with it. Common people suffer much. Crops are washed away. News of death and destruction also reach our ears. Thus, the rainy season brings hope in one hand, despair on the other. Yet, common people, look forward to the happy days and wait patiently for the autumn to come.
