RAINY SEASON

I like the rainy season most. It is also known as monsoon season. It is my favourite
and best season among all four seasons. Rainy season starts in India in the month
of June when winds of South West Monsoon starts blowing. Monsoon begins in
the middle of June, and continues up to September. According to Hindu Calendar
this season is felt in the months of Asaadha and Shravana. During the season, the
sky is generally overcast with cloud. The clouds of different shades move in the
sky and look very nice. Sometimes, rain comes along with lightning and
thunder. The Rainy Season comes after the Summer Season, so, this season brings
relief to the burning earth scorched in the summer heat. The temperature remains
pleasant during the monsoon. All the living things enjoy the rainy season by
getting wet into the rain water.
Rainy season adds scenic beauty to the environment. It gives a new life to the
earth. The soil becomes wet and nourished with new drops of water. All the trees
and plants get covered with new green leaves and lawns and fields gets covered
with the great looking green velvet grass. The beautiful rainbow falls in the sky.
The sun plays hide-and-seek with the clouds. Peacocks and other forest birds start
dancing in full swing by spreading their wings. In this season the rivers, canals,
tanks and other low land are full of water.
Rainy season is of great importance for the Indian farmers as they really need more
water for their crops cultivation. A large number of farmers depend upon
monsoon-rains to meet the food requirement of their family. They engage in
agricultural activities not to sell the crops, but for their own needs too. During the
Rainy Season, people face a lot of difficulties. Excessive rains cause flood and
absence of rain creates drought. It brings us some inconveniences. After flood
effects are much as epidemic starts. It causes diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid and other
digestive system disorders.
In spite of these difficulties the rainy season brings happiness to the minds of the
people. We also celebrate Many Indian festivals with great enthusiasm in this
season.
