View the Rainey season photo from Malanjkhand Copper Project. Ever since my early childhood days in Vaikom Kottayam Dist. Kerala (where I grew up in a rural village) called thottakom I had been fascinated by the monsoon rains. The southwest monsoon is generally expected to begin around the first week of June. It is said that it begins first in the coastal state of Kerala and moves upwards. The monsoon accounts for 80 percent of the rainfall in the country. Indian agriculture (which accounts for 25 percent of the GDP and employs 70 percent of the population) is heavily dependent on the monsoon rains, especially crops like cotton, rice, oilseeds and coarse grains. A delay of a few days in the arrival of the monsoon can, and does, badly affect the economy. I like the monsoon clouds, they amaze me.
