ENGLISH SONGS AT THE END OF THE POST

The sound of rain w/o music

HUGE Fierce Monsoon hits India - The First Rains

If you watch this video on youtube

on your right side

scores of videos

about Monsoon Hitting Kerala Coast

each of which is amazing to watch

In the morning MET spokesman said , " Monsoon,  was to hit Kerala coast on 1st June , though delayed by 4 days will hit Kerala , today 5th June , and it will be normal , set my mind on this blog post on Songs based on Rain.

    I just Googled  "Monsoon rains hit Kerala " and look what I found :-))) MONSOON HAD ACTUALLY HIT KERALA !!! MET is right thanks to weather satelites. Their accuracy is unquestionable. So lets hope it reduces prices and improves Sensex. .

What I found on Google were sopme awesome pictures.

News item HERE which says

" Monsoon rains hit Kerala, to progress further normally "

What Better way to start this blog post on Monsoon Rain but with a Bangla song 

Brishti Pore Tapur Tupur in Bangla written by Nobel Prize for literature winning Bengali Poet Gurudev Ravindranath Tagore , sung by VenuG (yours truly)

As evident by my post, on how I was initiated into music by this National Ecko Radio, Radio Ceylon, played this song, before Vividh Bharti did on Sangit Sarita,  as Monsoon hit Sri Lanka , Before Kerala, as soon as Rain started

Asha is dancing on a Rajasthani folk song Chomaso welcoming rainy season. Chomaso means rainy season, it brings a great relief from the scorching heat of summers. With the arrival of monsoon, crops like bajra and jowar grows, peacocks dance and women enjoy themselves by swinging and dancing in the rain.


Moriya Aacho Bolyo Re Dhalti Raat Mein
Peacock you distubed me by singing at night

A lady whose husband has gone to city to work
