The Rainy Season begins in India when the South West Monsoon winds begin to blow over this country. The season is felt in the months of Asaadha and Shravana as per the Oriya calendar. But in fact it lasts in India from the second week of June till the end of September.
Rains are a blessing as well as a curse for most of us. If we could control them and bring them on whenever we are in need of or keep them off as long as we desire, then, of course, rains would be a blessing. But as it is, man is helpless before nature.
In the countryside even altar the heaviest rains, the water is drained away into the tanks and low lands; the village homesteads are seldom waterlogged. Streets in the city are under water for hours after a shower. The underground pipes are not of a capacity to carry off the large volume of heavy downpour.
