    The Indian monsoons have always been a fascination of mine. I had a friend a long time ago in Kerala name Elson, and from this video, I see why he called the monsoons "sexy". I always thought it was strange he used that word to describe a monsoon, but I see the justice of it all, now. Monsoon is the time for love and celebration of the renewed life.

      I’m part Indian and was born in Kerala where my mom is from. I befriended a Pakistani from Islamabad who attended my school in Florida. We became good friends; my mom did not like the fact that I was friends with someone from Pakistan, but after she learned that he taught me how to cook not just Pakistani cuisine, but also Indian food, she changed her opinion. The whole Pakistan-India conflict is beyond me, it’s like two siblings having an argument for no good reason. One of my favorite quotes from One Love Manchester should apply here; “Don’t move forward in anger, love spreads.”

    I was born in the south western state of Kerala in the city of Cochin, my mom is from the city of Alleppey. I spent most of my life in Miami, FL and because of this I never realized the beauty of the Indian monsoon… I now live in Seattle, WA and dearly miss the torrential tropical rains and storms both Florida and southwest India have to offer. I can’t wait to return to Kerala (Quilon) and enjoy a warm cup of Indian cardamom tea, listening to the sounds of rain and thunder, falling asleep in the process. A peace and calm that can’t be done justice through words!

    @35:36: "why Monsoon and love why is Monsoon and love" for the same reason we love rainstorms, snowstorms and wild weather.
    Take a "time trip" back to the days when we were hunter/gatherers. What did we do during that time when bad weather came. Since we couldn't hunt, fish or farm we socialized with other.
    And one thing led to another. We discovered each other and love.
    Those fond memories are a permanent part of our Karma and come to life when we are reborn.

    have done over the millennia. The smells, the joy, spring to our steps - monsoon is the emotion of India. You can't describe it,
    but you can only experience it.

    Why not dig many large tunnels thru the mountains to take some of the monsoon waters from the side which experiences flooding to the other side which experiences drought? The sides of the mountains on the rainy side could be terraced to direct the water descending from the mountains to the inlet of such tunnels. And, if the inlets on the rainy side are sufficiently higher than the outlets on the dry side, the force of the water through the sloped tunnels could generate electricity. Such a project, properly done, could ease flooding on the windward side of the mountains and the massive amounts of water stored in a network of giant canals on the leeward side could increase agriculture and aquaculture and ease droughts. Heaven on earth.That should be quick and easy to do using some of the billion+ Indians, don't you think? Cheers and all the very best.🙃😉

    Very interesting documentary, and many themes emerged. It's nice to see that religion isn't a matter of separation at least in some places, and that the act of killing animals (probably for survival in this situation) can at least bring people together. In other cases, it's sad to see a cobra being killed, although I don't know what choice these people have. And at the very end, the mention of rhynos, it just makes me think how sad it is for animals, to be running not only from nature (which is neutral in itself), but from humans (which aren't neutral at all). I find rain fascinating, but I can't help but notice how inequalities made by humans are worsened by climate conditions. Anyway, nice one!

If in a rainy day a mountain collapses and kill animals and people who were passing by, it's not nature's "fault". Now humans, they really want to kill and destroy things in all kinds of ways, for all kinds of purposes. Like in the video, hunting rhynos.
