I tried to recall all my school days in every rainy season, it is a really nostalgic feeling, and it is of too much. The wet smell from the clothes and one more peculiar smell I remember was when I used dry the clothes on hot hande or when I hold in front of fire it will smell very peculiarly with a lot of steam evaporating from it. All our books are kept in a plastic cover then kept in pati cheela!!!!.. Along the road there was a lot of water oozing out of the ground, we always identified them and named them as if we have discovered new river…. When coming back from school always, we fought with an umbrella, by sprinkling the water by rotating a big umbrella. The coffee in the rainy season is a great thing. Steaming coffee one of the most beautiful thing in the world !!!! I don’t know how many people agree with me, but in our family, everyone agrees overwhelmingly!!!!!. (Song playing now: banigondu elle ellide). How uncomfortable stay in school to be with wet clothes on, as u change the sitting position all uneasiness would start again. It is a fantastic feeling to wear dry cloth, sit in lantern light and sip coffee and eat alakalu. There are many frozen pictures of the rainy season.
In school, we hanged our umbrella outside ( some students even used to bring kmbli koppe) and water trickle from umbrella’s sharp steel end. We took that drop on the nail, it shined like a gem and in an almost spherical shape ( due to surface tension!!!! Recently acquired knowledge). On more most awaited thing is when our Kere would fill and kodi’s fall, it was a great discussion topic, “oh today it has rained very heavily, the water level must have reached the thoob”(gate that allows water to thota) and next day we run excitedly to see till where water has reached. We claim our prediction is correct. There was always plastic slippers in rainy season and for all time water and sticky sand used be there in slipper and cause great discomfort, and now then slipper was washed in small streams. Halfway through rainy season places become slippery; when you fall, it is as if the earth has lost all its gravity. And amrithanjan was put into good use. Travelling by bus was always the most beautiful bumpy thing. All Gajanana buses were fitted with vertically folding shutter, water still seeped through it. One side of the body will get wet in spite of fighting water seepage using an umbrella, moving buttocks away from the window seat and facing sympathetic looks of co-passenger. Holiday in the rainy season was a fantastic experience.
Stand and watch the rain, how it proceeds across the landscape. If the wind is there, it will continue like waves and create beautiful music of increase and decrease in rain intensity (in the background u should not miss doddappa shouting to close the door, ‘water will come inside’). Whenever I slept in maadi room during the rainy season, I always enjoyed the raindrops fiercely hitting the hanchu ( tails). Nadahalli holds many more sweet memories. The paper boats or kesevina yele sailed in kerekodi. These great boats were observed for any catastrophe (tip over!!!) till it disappeared in the corner and next set of boats were set to sail for their great expedition till gramadagudi channel. Almost at the end of the rainy season a lot of greenery is around. In thota lot of kale grew and along with it thuruchi gida, which cause allergy and too much of scratching. The only relief from this was to wash the legs with a lot of hot water, as water flows over the scratched area instantly there was a great feeling of haha and expressed loudly!!!. ( I am going for, and I will come and many more thing about the rainy season) .
