Your plans get canned due to the rains and matches get rescheduled. Rain woes are many, but in no way do they match up to the abundance of joy and beauty they fill our lives with. The pitter-patter walks nimbly straight into the heart. It is difficult to explain in words the kind of exhilarating joy the rains bring. But you'll discover it for yourself in these simple little ways:

Create a playlist of all the rain songs everyone loves

Ab ke saawan, Tip tip barsa paani, Raindrops keep falling on my head... listening to them makes you feel the monsoon drizzle in your veins. It's a beautiful feeling, as cool as ice-candy on hot day and yet, as warm as love.

Watch an old movie at home

There's no better time than monsoons to be a couch potato. Grab a big bowl of popcorn, and bring out all those old DVDs.
