The child expresses delight in the arrival of the rains, noting the sights, sounds, and smells associated with this period. Key elements include the child's love for the smell of wet earth, the concept of 'waterfalls' created by collecting rainwater, and the association of rain with traditional Indian music like 'Kajari' and the legendary power of Miyan Tansen's singing to summon rain. The narrative also captures the visual spectacle of peacocks dancing and the anticipation of playing on a swing. Culinary delights like pakodas, corn, hot milk, spicy puffed rice, and puris are mentioned, highlighting festive food traditions linked to the season. The story connects the rains to nature's rejuvenation, with trees and plants becoming greener, and emphasizes the importance of good rainfall for farmers and crops, portraying them as worshippers of rain gods. The child also reflects on personal growth, comparing their own mango tree to a larger one and the growth it experiences during the monsoon. The story is rich with cultural references, including Sanskrit terms, specific ragas, and regional mentions like Jaipur and Varanasi.","Peacocks and Pakodas  \nMala Kumar, Manisha Chaudhry  \nPriya Kuriyan  \nI can see big, black clouds in the sky, and I can hear BADABOOM, the roll of thunder. The monsoon is here . It is called Varsha Ritu in Sanskrit. I love the smell of wet earth. After along hot summer, the soil also loves the first raindrops, I think.  \nThe rain makes beautiful patterns on the ground. My uncle has kept big drums in some places to save rain water. The rain water from the terrace comes and falls into these drums. So I call them waterfalls!  \nAunty likes to sing aloud when it starts raining. Shubha aunty who lives in Varanasi, taught me some lovely songs called ‘Kajari’ . Do you know, Miyan Tansen, a very famous singer in the court of Emperor Akbar, could bring the rain down from the skies just by singing a song in raag ‘Miyan ki Malhar!’ I am going to start learning Indian classical music too.  \n4  \nI got wet in the rain when I came running back from school, but it was fun. I saw peacocks dancing in the fields near our house. They never seem to get wet! I cannot wait to sit on the swing that Manu has put upon the big tree, and feel the cool rainy breeze on my face.  \nI can smell the pakodas being fried in the kitchen. Can I be greedy and eat some corn too? Amma makes us drink hot milk.  \nYesterday, she had made spicy puffed rice. And tomorrow, she says she will make puris!  \nAll the trees and plants will look green and happy. Just like the green dupatta that Hari bhaiya sent for me from Jaipur. He said it is called a ‘dhaani chunariya.’‘Dhaani’ means the fresh green colour of paddy saplings. Grandpa told me that good rain means the farmers will get a good crop. We all wait for the rains, but farmers worship the rain gods.  \n8  \nMy mango tree has grown very tall during the monsoon season . I do not have to water it at all! And when the wind blew hard last month, my tree stood firm. When will my mango tree be as big as this one?","cbCaitozQplMAret","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitozQplMAret","pdf",1052821,2,11,"English","en",105,"# The Monsoon\n## Rainwater Harvesting\n## Music and
