There is something about the monsoon season that speaks to the soul of us Indians. It is, perhaps, an evolutionary conditioning that associates the onset of the rainy season with a bumper crop, prosperity, and abundance. Even in modern times, when we live in high rises and bustling metro cities, the onset of the rains makes us want to rustle up some tea and fritters and watch the drops fall from the sky. While the dark, grey skies may look dull, there is no reason your home should look drab.
