Dry land changing into rich green colour, new leaves emerging from stems, moist breeze bringing aroma of wet earth, dark ominous clouds looming in the sky, beautiful flowers blossoming everywhere, gardens full of fruits, children peeping out of their colourful umbrellas to get drenched in the rain, lazy peaceful walks; all these and much more present a wonderful sight in the monsoon season.<\/p>\n
