Monsoons Memories:

The term Monsoon is from Arabic MAWSIN : where in south Asia it rains... ……Its something magical about the rain drenched season of Monsoon that makes people go barmy.

The first drop of water on the raw parched earth, the irresistible fragrance afterwards.. every sub continental Indian ( from the stock exchange office in Mumbai to the urban to the rural farmer every patient with his bull and the plough) looks towards the sky.

Monsoon the romantic season of love.

To procreate..

To go green..

Its mystical its joyful

Its merriment around.

& its most welcome.

The Indian Economy thrives on monsoon..

Finance minister , Pranab Mukerjee, once said that :

‘ monsoon is the real finance minister of India '.

A good monsoon results in improved agricultural-growth,bringing down prices,reducing imports – thus food inflation under control.

Essentially a good monsoon results in increased hydroelectric production.

The industry wheels move and a positive ripple is felt through out the country.

There can be a good rain season only when there is enough precipitation..

Fellow Indian wake up .Save the trees save the forest.

The internet or the web is the great revealer : showed a ppt of Murree

(a town in Northern Pakistan & a hilly extension of the great Himalayas).

When observed: the mountains- slopes are without tress..

The streets the mountains are covered with snow.. beautiful..

Wake up Humans plant a tree..

Our problems can disappear if we make an conscious effort towards forest preservation.. & the green cover..

The monsoon is dependent on forest cover and we Indians are dependent on the monsoon.. lets begin...
