While officially the monsoons have been delayed for Delhi NCR, we have had some small showers. Those showers bought back some memories of rainy days of earlier times. I recall eating hot pakodas with tea. Or 1993 Sir movie song "Sun sun barsaat ki dhun sun....." (Listen to the music of rain...) Or that ghazal by Pankaj Udhaas "Wo kagaz ki kashti, wo baarish ka pani. ." (That paper boat in rainy days. .....) And more such memories. What memories do rains bring to you?

I love the rain in summer, the thunderstorms bring back memories when we went vacationing at the sea with my parents. The quick shower while we were at the beach and kids happily dancing in the rain and splashing in the sea.

@vin12345 , what did you do? Did you dance and sing in the rain? I always like to dance and shout in the rain when I was a young child.

For me, I remember I was trying to save my umbrella from the storm in the middle of a path (both sides are rice field) and myself, as I felt I was also moved along with the wind, trying to keep my books not getting wet. My goodness, a tough time for me in the evening time while going back to home from school. I have no nice memories but only scary memories along with rain.

I had a bad experience around 12 years ago. I was coming back from work place and there my umbrella folded inside out. So I had to fold it and come back badly drenched.

That was cool, I also had so many memories during rainy time. I cannot forget I ran and ran until I realized I was lost and that was evening. I was 8 years old that time .Someone brought me home, a police the co-police of my brother.

I love rain a lot but it is not raining here. I remember a song related to rain is 'deewana hua badal ' from Kashmir Ki Kali.

I love the monsoon season , never can get fed up of it. This year it began exactly on the date predicted on the 3 Rd f June. Mangalore has one of the highest volume f rainfalls and it can rain non stop for days together as it is happening now. .

Playing in it as a kid. I loved going out in the rain with my swimsuit on as a kid and just dance around in it.

I love the rains especially when it pours at night. Rains inspire the poets, of course, and also film makers! I used to wonder why it rains bang on school opening in the beginning of June! Someone is really in charge to make it happen year after year without fail. The atmosphere above is so thin and we hang on for dear life that it still holds despite some big leaders caring two hoots to such reminding of the famous "Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned". But others like China & India have risen to the occasion - siva

Some countries are denying India access to cleaner technologies but India is overcoming this with a strong will and switching to cleaner energies. Even China has made great strides.
