We have ruined nature and now it’s nature’s turn. So now instead of debating and putting ideas on paper, we need to do it practically. The Piplantri village in Rajasthan should be our inspiration. Why not celebrate birthdays with friends by planting trees instead of wasting food and consuming unhealthy food. Adequate rainfall in the monsoon season is critical for India\u2019s agricultural output and the overall economy. A deficit rainfall during the early part of the season could delay sowing and reduce crop output even if rainfall gathers pace later. Ruining of plans by monsoon is still affordable but without monsoons is a disaster.<\/p>\n Sanad Baligeri<\/strong>, Dr K B Hedgewar High School, Cujira, Bambolim<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.8″]<\/p>\n The smell of wet soil marking the start of monsoon after a hot summer is much needed. In a State like Goa where agriculture is a major sector, we need rain and not just light showers but heavy rains. It is predicted that in the years to come India will face major water crisis. There will be shortage of drinking water due to insufficient rains leading to lowered ground water levels. Currently, India is ranked 120th in the list of 122 countries facing water crisis. Monsoons do ruin plans, but if there isn\u2019t sufficient water, what plans will you make? The best thing one can do when it\u2019s raining is to let it rain.<\/p>\n Shwetang Nadkarni,<\/strong> Don Bosco College of Engineering, Fatorda<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.8″ src=”http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Shwetang-Nadkarni_.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.8″ src=”http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Shubham-Kepekar_.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.8″]<\/p>\n Monsoon is one of the most beautiful seasons to explore natural beauty and wildlife as it awakes nature from a deep sleep. It is the most awaited season in India. Deforestation and global warming are some of the main reason for decreased rate of rainfall. So we must start practicing certain activities such as afforestation in order to boost the rainfall rate.<\/p>\n Shubham Kepekar,<\/strong> Agnel Institute of Technology and Design, Assagao<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.8″]<\/p>\n Well, everyone knows about global warming, its effects and consequences and the demons to be blamed for it. When there\u2019s heat all around, we plead for rain. We listen and see hoardings and advertisements highlighting \u2018Save planet plant trees\u2019, \u2018Save environment\u2019, \u2018Don\u2019t litter plastic around\u2019, etc, yet no one gives attention to the situation unless nature shows its \u2018rudra avatar\u2019. In general we get what we put out, that\u2019s all I can say.<\/p>\n Anusaya Kubal,<\/strong> Agnel Institute of Technology and Design, Assagao<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.8″ src=”http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Anusaya-Kubal_.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.8″ src=”http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Pradnya-Desai_.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.8″]<\/p>\n Despite the generally held notion that we do deserve to pay the price for our deeds, when looked into the particulars we are not the primary victims for our unhealthy system. The reservoirs drying up at Chennai could possibly be a turning point in the way we draft our policies. Just like zero day in Cape Town in June 2018 transformed South Africa\u2019s water management and bulk economic policies and pushed zero water day to August, September, October to ultimately beat the zero day itself, this scarce monsoon is likely to teach us a similar lesson unless we prefer to wait longer.<\/p>\n Pradnya Desai,<\/strong> Panaji<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.8″]<\/p>\n The monsoon does ruin plans but is it more important than the crises Goa is facing right now? I don\u2019t think so. More than half of Goa\u2019s population is dependent on agriculture for their daily bread and if the crops don\u2019t get their daily intake of water it will result in a very poor harvest because of which the economy of Goa won\u2019t progress. But does the monsoon really ruin plans? What about the beautiful Sao Joao festival that\u2019s not complete without the rains? And this is the best time to witness the majestic Dudhsagar Falls and have a wonderful time river rafting in the Mhadei River. All in all I feel Goa becomes more beautiful and greener during the monsoons.<\/p>\n Roma Bharne,<\/strong> Porvorim<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.8″ src=”http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Roma_.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.8″ src=”http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Ruchi-Kamat_.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.8″]<\/p>\n Monsoon is a time for the sweet earthy smell, for the tiny droplets on the window panes, for the thundering sound of the rain and for falling in love with the sweet smell of the wet mud. Basically it is a time for rejuvenation and renewal of the environment. It has the power to add beauty to nature. But due to a recent rise in global warming, we are experiencing a lack of rain and also the water from the rain is becoming acidic. People say the rains ruin their plans, but what is more important? Global warming is changing nature rapidly. We have to stop pollution and harming the environment because if we don\u2019t, the earth might not be the beautiful and bountiful place it always has been.<\/p>\n Ruchi Kamat,<\/strong> architecture, Panaji<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.8″]<\/p>\n Nothing ruins a good day more than some heavy rain, right? Wrong. Nothing ruins a good day more than realising that rice costs 10 times more than it used to, and your average t-shirt costs as much as an Armani suit. This is what we\u2019re heading towards if our monsoons don\u2019t improve. Our days are going to get progressively worse than the minor inconvenience of missing a picnic. All we have left for now is to hope that human ingenuity wins out, and we find a way to push through.<\/p>\n Joseph Samuel,<\/strong> Sunshine Worldwide School<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.8″ src=”http:\/\/www.navhindtimes.in\/kuriocity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Kishan-Mangeshkar-2.jpg” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.8″] After quite a long wait, the rain is here but not in the required amount.
