Its May and the stage is getting for the annual monsoon festival ! and the curtain raiser are the pre-moosoon gale and showers which may being any time in April and appear till the monsoons set in . growing up in Calcutta these were a phenomenon. They go by the name
" Kal-Baishaki.. wreakers in the month of Baishak.
In Kerala , they are more benign .They arrive mostly in the evenings cooling down the place , bringing much need relief from the blazing summer sun.
They also have an interesting name .. "Mango Showers" as they help in the early ripening of mangoes ...
One such beauteous evening ..
