Monsoons...

In UK monsoon are uninvited guest… they come anytime and don’t go easily…just two seasons here summers and winters and rains anytime…

Geographically it should be hot before rains but here that pattern are not followed when surfed the net this is what they had to say…
“It’s a combination of the gulf stream and the east Greenland current (see reference for map) the super cooling of the gulf stream causes condensation in the air witch result its high humidity, fog and precipitation.”

It does rain anytime but these rains are harmless, they are not heavy, it is just drizzling or just a shower u would hardly listen to lightning or thunders… U cannot enjoy the rains here as they are not alone, they carry a cool breeze which is difficult to sustain unless u carry a bottle of whisky or rum which gives the internal warmth to your body or just smoke… and moreover they are like a everyday story…

In India it is not the case.. Rainy season is a boon to all Indians as 70% of Indian occupation is agriculture. Mind is just refreshed when u smell the wet soil. Or waiting to have garam bhaji pav or wada pav and roadside tea… there are dedicated three to four months for us to use umbrellas, windcheaters or rainy shoes.. to plan for rainy trips in the natural water falls or trekking … for the muddy football matches or to hog a butta while walking in the rains.. these things are only observed in India.

Of course rains here are not messy and neither they cause any water logging problems or flooding or power cuts unlike India.. but I guess Indians enjoy these messy things at least for three four months..

  2. Wow good to see u working on this and doing some search on it...love to see that u r still curious to know what's happening around and its really great to grow AND
    yes u said it.... there is geographical difference in the climate for both the countries which made the cultural difference too... I mean for how much time will you bear the killing cold breeze (without whiskey or rum);D ... where as here u can't resist yourself dancing in the rain... or having butta, vada paav, kaanda bhajji n cutting even if it is unhygienic ... well there lies an economic difference too... but still i guess 75% of the population enjoy(s) it irrespective of the financial condition....
