Rainy-wintry night

It is pouring hard in Gurgaon. Don’t ask me what the raindrops are singing but there is a rhyme and rhythm to it. In case you didn’t know, winter rains in north India are called Mahawat (महावट) and these are good for crops of Rabi season. This rain is brought in by strong south-west breezes (like this evening) these winds are also called ‘western disturbances’.  You may be cold but this is the night to sing a song to your love and blow a kiss barkha. Step out, do it now.
