Climate Change

My six year daughter came to me and asked Papa when you were kid then also we didn't received the rains. I was not able to answer as only we are responsible for not letting them the joy of floating paper boats, which we did when we were kids as the rains used to come like rains now they come as relief. Is the climate change responsible for sudden disappearance of the rains from our horizons, the rainy day when schools used to get closed due to incessant rain, times when the pour was a week long phenomena ; sun not coming out for days , mothers complaining about not being able to get the clothes dry and elders use to enjoy the chai with pakaori; what were the days ; days of masti; my daughter is being deprived of such basic enjoyment and who is responsible for it we ; to fill the gap we have created computer games; no more there are sensuous rain songs ; remember the famous love duet of Nargis and Raj Kapoor; suddenly we realise that all the cultural practices related to rain are disappearing; now we have to rely on science to feel all that which was once our natural right; can we do something. Yes we can small steps are going to have big impacts. lets start with this to set our office ACs at 24 ; its small but with a big impact; lets bring the joy back and see the excitement on the face of our kids of the experience of continuous rain........
