Monsoon is really a phenomenon – I do not think no one can completely explain how the second half  of the year is raining while the first half is not.  I too, like every one, know that kerala is more beautiful in the monsoon. Every where there will be green, the It is nice to see the rough sea and the clouds giving the sea and lakes a black tint which makes everything a beautiful work of God!

I too love Monsoon, but does every one does love it ? Have been to a beach a couple of weeks ago. We ended up to that place instead of Marari Beach, where we really wished to go. The Place was good to see, the sea was rough, and wild. A good feast for the eyes of a visitor, but th local people says that the seahas taken up the land by about 200 meters and has taken away a lot of their land and houses..

The poor roads, and the poor drainage system makes God’s own country a devils owned country. Almost all the roads are gutters, cannot really drive through these roads. The wear and tear causing to the vehicle is many times higher if the rains is not here.

The frequent landslide and floods make living in the high range area too difficult.  Each Monsoon have a story of losses – loss of life and property.

There is a lot of rain fall in Kerala, but who cares to trap the water to use it for their daily purposes ? All are only interested to fight against the authority for poor water supply. Why they cant trap it and use it wisely ?

Yea the monsoon is really giving a panaromic view to an outsider – but who can enjoy it having our home / land / cultivation getting destroyed with them ? Unless we are prepared to face monsoon as it needs to be faces, I believe Monsoon is a curse than a boon. Of course, it retains the water in our rivers, and the monsoon is providing the water for our hydro electric projects, and many other stuff… But With monsoon, there comes a lot of other issues like that of health, power and many other.

But we really need to prepare for each monsoon.
