Drop 14: Raise Above
In rain all birds take shelter but eagle is one that avoids the rain by flying above the clouds.
Problems are common to all but attitude makes the difference!

Monsoon Thoughts: Drop 13
Drop 13 Incessant Rain
Don't curse the incessant rain because, it prepares you perfectly to appreciate the sunshine.
Similarly constant challenges in the life prepare you to appreciate the little things in life and bring so much of joy!

Monsoon Thoughts: Drop 12
Drop 12 what rain means?
Rain, when you are in a cozy place with a steaming coffee, is a lovely thing. When are you are on the way to something important, it is a pain. If you are a kid then it is opportunity to float paper boats. If you are in love then it is a romantic thing. For the people living in the low-down area it is a threat. For the farmers depending on crops stage, it is a opportunity or threat.

Nevertheless it rains, only thing we can do is adopt or change our outlook about rain.

Monsoon Thoughts: Drop 11
Drop 11 Waiting for the first rain
Summer excites me! It just excites me. Hotter it gets, double my excitement. Boils, sweat, hot and sleepless nights hardly bother me! It just prepares me perfectly for the first rain.
At the end of the summer of the summer, clouds just appear from nowhere, assemble in the sky like angels, in a perfect harmony starting showering all happiness from the heaven. The primal scent of the earth is just fascinating; it lifts my spirit to the greater heights. By dancing in the rain, sometimes just by watching the first rain my soul enters eternal bliss. Many times just anticipation of first rain brings such joy to my heart.
There were times when summer gets prolonged for years. Many people around me would start losing hope after a few weeks or so, some strong willed fellows after a month or two. But my excitement would never cease. I tried hard to convey all of them that ‘it will rain, it is a natural phenomenon, and it should rain’. Sometimes whole environment turns to be pathetic. My voice will be alone. People around me start suspecting my mental health and sanity. Forget the people even I myself, start wondering about my sanity. Deep inside my heart someone keeps telling me ‘Never lose hope, It will rain’. I just surrender to him, is there any other choice? The answer is a simple no.
After the first rain, people start calculating meticulously about the forth coming rain & the prosperity it is going to bring. All those calculations hardly catch my attention. Everyone starts praising me for not losing hope; some express their guilt for suspecting me. I just give them a simple smile and start wondering about forth coming summer and the excitement it is going to bring!
“All struggles in life are nothing but prolonged summer…!”

Monsoon Thoughts: Drop 9
Drop 9 Blessings
“God should learn from rain. God should bless all” I complained “...it rain for rich it rains for poor. It rains for all. It never differentiates...”
He replied “Rain itself is God’s blessing!”

Monsoon Thoughts: Day 8
Day 8 Start Fresh
Yesterday it rained heavily, atmosphere cooled down, there was pleasant cool breeze mixed with primal scent of earth. But today sun is out and it's hot again!
So don’t rest on your laurels of past, yes there are important, but it is even more important that you start fresh today!

Monsoon Thoughts: Day 7
Day 7 Surroundings
During hot summer when it rains in neighboring areas your area also benefits from it as you get cool breeze, groundwater levels increase and water reservoir increase
So make sure your team, friends, family and people around you, are successful and happy for your own benefit!

Monsoon Thoughts: Day 6
Day 6 Uncertainty
Just before rain, environment gets hot and humid. Sometimes it will be unbearable, but it is required and necessary step to rain.
Elephantine clouds assemble. The cloudy sky darkens, the air pressure dropping. Sky darkens; Tension builds up, can't wait for the rain to start. Feel short of breath! Gusts of wind, lightening followed by huge thunder. Windows rattle! First rain drops. More rain. Yes Oh Yes! Relief at last. After rain, everything so green; hills, parks, side walks turn to green. Birds singing everywhere. Gratitude abounds.
In your life, in most uncertain and testing time, keep yourself positive and reward yourself with great results!

Monsoon Thoughts : Day 3
Day 3 Cycles
In hot sun water evaporates, clouds are formed. Cool breeze brings them down. There is no miss in cycle. Still every time it rains it is beautiful. In all cyclic, apparently redundant activities there should be some meaning.
God bless me with perseverance.
