Monsoon is one of the best times in India. We all enjoyed the time when our schools were closed due to rain and our moms cooked pakoras for us. We used to float paper boats on the puddles or streams of flowing water. Monsoons are nostalgic and bring back our childhood memories. However, there is more to monsoons than just holidays, pakoras, and paper boats.
