Monsoons are greatly awaited by everyone after the scorching summer heat.The heavens open up and the little drops of joy make contact with the dry earth. A rainy day is so pristine, so upbeat, and so amazing in every way. The season of monsoons makes us all fall in love with Mother Nature.

In India, monsoons generally occur in the months of July, August, and September with little variations in rains at different places. All of the rain that comes along this time of year can really get depressing. Sure, some people enjoy it, but who really wants to go out when it’s pouring outside?

One of the best ways to combat seasonal downpour is to embrace it. That’s right; it’s time to get down with some cozy pajamas as here is a list of fun activities for brightening your mood when it’s gray and gloomy.

1.Play football in the rains

Whether it is drizzling or raining cats and dogs, why stay in? The rainy season is a season to be enjoyed and not to sit tight inside the houses. Getting wet in the rain is a pleasant experience and also healthy. So grab your football and jump out in the rain. The age-old tradition of playing football in the rains remains as fresh as ever. Don’t be afraid to have fun in the rain, just be careful not to slip.

2.Play a Board game

Remember the long-forgotten stack filled with board games that you bought in the past many years? It is the perfect time for you to open them and play until the end of the season. It is seen that people tend to spend time on their mobile phones. If it’s overcast and you’re sitting around wondering what to do, put your phones away and play a game instead.

3.Curl up with a book

A rainy day is a perfect opportunity to put on some fuzzy socks, grab a blanket and curl up on the couch with a great book.What can be better than that? A hot cup of coffee or tea will just be the icing on the cake. Needless to say, become a Wordsworth and fall hard for nature. Sit in the balcony, read your favorite book or write out your inner expressions.

4.Snore your way through the rain

For sleep lovers, a rainy day is a cool and pleasant day when they can snore throughout the day! You have no work, you can't really go out (or don't want to), and the bed looks more welcoming than ever. So tuck yourself in and sleep some more!

5.Enjoy monsoon snacks

What can be better than the combination of rain and chai-pakora? This inevitable roadside delicacy is a must during monsoon. Along with this, you can also have corn or samosa. If you didn’t have these mouth-watering snacks, then your monsoon is incomplete! You can also summon the chef within you. Head to the kitchen and churn out some of your trademark recipes.

We all might have different perspectives on monsoon. Some may associate it with terms like ‘weary’, ‘sleepy’ or ‘drenching’. But Mother Nature has made all the seasons in such a way that it could soothe us. So, let’s embrace this monsoon with a big smile. Let these fun ideas rainbow our monsoon this season. You cannot let the rainy day slip away like that, right?
