Rain calms separation; That's why even 50 degree heat is pleasant!
People in our country are looking forward to the rainy season. Rain is only glorified in our literature and folk literature. Our happiness and prosperity depend only on rain. In Indian literature, rains are the season of joy, work and pleasure. We have festivals throughout the year. Our meteorologists also start predicting good monsoon from the last week of March. Because here the stock market fluctuates due to monsoons and the reputation of the government increases. That's why residents here can tolerate temperatures as low as 45 or 50. Along with the heat, he sees happiness coming soon. It's hot and it's raining. Apart from this, the rising mercury sweetens the melon, watermelon and mango crops in our area. Last week, on his way back from Bijnur, near the Ganga barrage, a farmer had spread watermelons in heaps and was selling them at Rs 10 a kg. I took a big watermelon weighing five kilos and asked him to cut it, and he said, Sir, take something, if it is not sweet, you will beat it with 100 sandals. Seeing his confidence, I also took it uncut and when I came home I felt like the man who cut it was flowing with honey. I have rarely eaten such sweet watermelon. The sweetness of the watermelon at the end of May was amazing. Yesterday he brought me melons from Hapur which were equally sweet. Just putting it on the tongue feels like someone has dissolved Rooh Afza and filled it inside. Why are watermelon and cantaloupe so sweet? I wanted to go to the villages and find out from the farmers why the watermelons and melons are so sweet this year. So his answer was interesting. This time from the day after Holi, the second week of April is hot enough to cross 40 degrees, he said. According to them, when the heat rises, watermelon and melon are sweeter. I mean, the rise in mercury can be stressful for urban dwellers, but to compensate, the fruits that nature has provided are wonderful and also reduce the heat. But our agricultural science department is so inactive that it does not tell the farmer why he does not plant melons and watermelons in anticipation of rain. This crop of Saeed will save him from depression which consumes his savings in pursuit of cash crops. Farmers themselves can accurately predict the weather. But it would be interesting to know that the farmers who commit suicide are the ones who get caught in the cash crop trap of the government and take loans from the banks. And mostly such farmers are middle class farmers. Recently, farmers took a rally to Delhi to express their plight, but were stopped midway. If these farmers were dependent on market demand for vegetables, this day would not have to be seen. However, farmers in India are not fooled by the predictions of the meteorological department and make accurate predictions about the weather themselves. This is his achievement. We have a tradition of six seasons. Unlike Europe or West Asia, our monsoons are not dry and boring. Monsoon rains here twice a year. One after summer and another during winter. But today's agriculturists and meteorologists are unable to digest this six-season tradition. And the machines that make their predictions are built with dry bugs at the core. As a result, meteorologists are repeatedly shamed for their wrong predictions every year. But if there were no six seasons, we would not know spring, autumn or winter. The British simplified aspects of our knowledge by reducing the seasons to three and giving four directions. But still our farmers keep the philosophy of six seasons and ten directions in their mind due to which they can sense their weather trend almost a year in advance. It is best during the rainy season, unlike the British monsoon, which is regulated by our own seasonal cycle. That is why they come and go only at certain times. We haven't had any disturbances like El Nino or El Lena here, but our farmers have faced more droughts. That is why he succeeded in trying to understand the movement of the clouds through the constellations through his experience and estimation. Many auspicious songs and hymns have been written to welcome rain. While describing rain in his Rithu Sanhar, Kalidas writes – Rain is best in seasons because it calms the hearts of lovers. Indian society as a whole has a tradition of welcoming the rains, not just the farmers but every human here yearns for rain. Poets like Kalidas and later Avadi poets like Malik Muhammad Jayasi and Tulsidas have also depicted rain as beautiful. Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi connects rain with astrology. Sada ashad kagan gan garja, saja prah dan dal bhaja is what he wrote. Thaure Khan came with great fanfare, hoisted the flag and displayed his wing. That is, Ashad came and the rain clouds came up. And he writes, pushb nagat sir ab awa, conceals the temple of Haun bin Nah. Adra Lakhi, Lakhi Buian Lee and Mohi Bin Piu did the honors. They say who will fix the nails of the house when a widow is away from her lover during the rainy season. Who will respect him? Because rainy season dampens the passion of love. Poets who care about decorum like Tulsidas quote from the mouth of Ram while describing the rains, khan-hant karjat khan kora, piya heen darbat ji mora Farmers never make the mistake of recognizing the movement of rain. The winds coming from the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea are called Monsoons. Usually this wind starts rising from the last week of May. This year too on May 30, monsoon rains fell in Kerala. After hitting the peaks of the Himalayas, these winds come back and rain in the plains. Along with these, such winds also arise from the Bay of Bengal and bring rain over Bengal and Chota Nagpur plateau regions. El Nino means no rain due to heat and wind from the Pacific Ocean. This wind has nothing to do with Indian soil. Winds from the Bay of Bengal have recently ravaged Bengal. As farmers in India have relied on this rain for centuries, they are not mistaken in recognizing its movement. They know that whenever the Mrigasira star shines in the month of Jedha, it will rain heavily. Summer fruits like watermelons and melons ripen at the same time when there is a heat wave in Baishak and Jeet. The heat of summer makes the mango sweet but it ripens only when the first drizzle of monsoon falls on it. The entire crop of Zaid depends on the heat wave. But our scientists are not ready to accept this.
