...Singing in the rain…. By Vimla Patil September 2009 Though rain has inspired joyous dances and music all over the world, India has a unique heritage of Monsoon Ragas which were composed and sung by legendary masters like Mia Tansen to initiate welcome showers to India’s parched forests and fields so that the land would be blessed with plenty…The music they composed has inspired painters, dancers and writers for generations…… ‘A lifetime of showers moistens the soul’, says an ancient proverb. And the shimmering, crystal-clear nuances of these beautiful words apply more to India’s colourful Monsoon culture than to any other art movement in the world. Rain and the magical season of Monsoon have always been the throbbing heart of Indian life and culture. Whether we are talking about music – classical, folk as well as devotional – dance, painting or sculpture, rains and their incessant music are a recurring theme in India’s many-splendoured art treasure, and not without excellent reason! It is well-known that India’s entire economy depends upon the timely coming of the Monsoons. Vignettes of farmers looking longingly at the skies for the first signs of fleecy black water-bearing clouds are familiar in our daily life. Folk songs welcoming the first thunder showers and streaks of lightning are sung in every village even today. The diverse dialects of India’s far flung villages are replete with songs welcoming the rains and their message of bounty. Indeed, the ancient...

...ribbons and flowers. Music was playing loudly. Children were laughing. And artists were performing and singing. All of those noises were combined in a melody of universal holiday. A little bird was singing with the melody. She liked fairs. She liked holidays. But in that town they were so infrequent! What a pity! -Mommy! – Asked the little bird her mother that was cleaning her feathers sitting under the roof beam, - Why people don’t like the fairs? Why they have fun so rarely? -Because, my little birdie, they should work hard to deserve this holiday. -I want more holidays, mommy! - Stubbornly twittered the little bird, - Where can be more holidays? -Well, I don’t know if it is true, but one day the Old Raven told us the story about the City. There are more people, so there should be more fairs, I guess…- the mother-bird murmured thoughtfully. -The City, - the little bird repeated it dreamily. It was the day when the little bird decided to go to the City. Next morning when the mother was asleep the little bird managed to leave their cozy nest and to start its long way to the City. The bird had been flying above the fields, meadows, forests and rivers. The flight was difficult and tiresome. The bird felt that her wings were weak and that she was starved. But there was no sign of the City. Yet it seemed that it was going to rain. Usually the little bird liked rains. She used to sit under the church roof and listen how raindrops were falling down and tapped on the pavement...

...How patiently and anxiously the people wait for its arrival. And if unfortunately the rains are delayed, the people go to temples, mosques and churches to say their prayers. Sometimes they perform “yajnas” to please Indra the god of rains. Relief from heat In a hot country like India where the summer is very hot is natural for the people to wish for arrival of rains. The earth gets hot and parched. The ponds and lakes run dry. The water level in the wells sinks low. There is scarcity of water everywhere. The hot winds and dust storms make life miserable. The whole land beards a horrible look. And then rains begin. The dark and rolling clouds cover the burning sun. They hide from the weary looks of the people. A wave of pleasure fills the atmosphere. It is filled with a deep feeling of joy. There is singing and dancing and merry making everywhere. The young ladies swing Thula handing from a neem or peepal tree. They sing songs of love and adventure. The children bathe in the shower. They swim in the little pool of rain water. They shout with joy. Nature at her best The nature is at her best in the rainy season. The old earth becomes young. Her wrinkles change into green and long grasses. Her looks become quite fresh and young. The dry and sandy beds are again alive with flowing water. The murmuring sound of water fills the heaths of the young with pleasure. Importance of rains for agriculture The rainy season is the life of the agriculture in India. The failures...

...Careful observers might foretell the hour when they are dread of a rain shower. When rain starts, the pensive cat stop frolicking and no longer pursues her tail. When you returning home at night, you will find the sink. Strike your offended sense with double stink. If you were wise, then you should not go far to dine. You would spend more money in hiring a coach than saving in wine. A coming shower will shoot you corns presage. When old aches throb, your hollow tooth will rage. Dulman would be seen sauntering in coffeehouses. He dams the climate and complains of spleen. Meanwhile the South is rising with dabbled wings, a sable cloud athwart the welkin flings. That swilled more liquor than it could contain. Brisk Susan whips her linen from the rope, like a drunkard gives it up again. While the first drizzling shower is borne aslope and it is sprinkling just like some careless quean. She flirts on you from her mop, but not so clean. You fly and invoke the gods, then turning and stop to rail. She is singing and still whirls on her mop. The dust had not shunned the unequal strife yet, but aided by the wind it still fought for life, and wafted with its foe by violent gust. That was doubtful which was rain and which was dust. Ah! Where must needy poet seek for aid when dust and rain invade on his coat at once. Dust cemented by the rain on sole coat, it erects the nap and leaves a mingled stain. I did some research online and in a web blog I found out that Dulman is a character created...

...One rainy fall day a girl who thought she was fading into the darkness of everything going on around her, decided that she wasn’t strong enough to be here anymore. She knew that she only had so much strength to live and she was at the end of it. She decided to call her one friend; the one who she knew could make her smile one last time. As she sat and thought about what to say she picked her phone up and started to dial and he phone begins to ring. ‘Ring ring’ “Hey what’s up?” “Hey Nate, its Genesis.” “What’s up Boo.” Genesis smiles at the sound of him calling her boo. “Can we talk for a couple minutes?” “Ya boo what’s up you sound like your upset.” “I wish I could tell you what’s going through my mind.” “Boo talk to me you know I’ll always be here to listen and talk to you.” “I know and that’s why I love having you around.” Genesis looks down and knows that he can tell something is wrong. For a couple minutes the phone has an odd silence. She hears a door close outside. She gets up and looks out the window and there is Nate sitting on the hood of his car. Genesis heads down the stairs and runs over to Nate into his arms. Nate looks down and sees the tears in her eyes. “Boo what’s wrong?” Genesis hugs him and whispers “everything!” Nate lifts her face up so he can see her face and softly says, “Nothing is Boo you’re safe and loved and that won’t ever change.” Genesis just smiles and knows that he does love and care about her. Nate and...

...ways this song can be interpreted is with its literal reading a story of a blackbird with broken wings and "Blackbird" is a Beatles song from the double-disc album The Beatles (known as the White Album). The song was written by Paul McCartney, though credited to Lennon–McCartney. McCartney was inspired to write it while in Scotland as a reaction to racial tensions escalating in the United States in the spring of 1968.[2] In May 2002, during a show at the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas as part of the Driving USA Tour supporting the Driving Rain album, McCartney spoke on stage about the meaning of the song. KCRW DJ Chris Douridas interviewed McCartney backstage afterwards for his radio show New Ground, and the meaning of the song was discussed.[3] This interview aired on KCRW on 25 May 2002. I had been doing poetry readings. I had been doing some in the last year or so because I've got a poetry book out called Blackbird Singing, and when I would read "Blackbird", I would always try and think of some explanation to tell the people, 'cause there's not a lot you can do except just read the poem, you know, you read 10 poems that takes about 10 minutes, almost. It's like, you've got to, just, do a bit more than that. So, I was doing explanations, and I actually just remembered why I'd written "Blackbird", you know, that I'd been, I was in Scotland playing on my guitar, and I remembered this whole idea of "you were only waiting for this moment to arise" was about, you know, the...
