MONSOONS

Monsoons while travelling to Uttar Pradesh last year
the Carpet belt - Benaras, Mirzapur, Bhadoi, Sonbhadra

rain, trains, traffic, cycles, police, people - Benaras City

crossing on river Ganges

fresh sown paddy, on way to Sonbhadra

Kanwaria's Pligrame- a must do in Kaashi, the city of Shiva

Sawan - the monsoon month hosts the annual Kanwar Yatra, Shiva devotees trek by foot to fetch water from the Ganges to offer their local Shiva temple

??? is there a connection with Shravan Kumar, a water bearer who carried his blind parents on his shoulders for pligramage,

while he was intercepted by King Dasrath's arrow (unintentional) that killed him.

The milkyway & some costellations around it have reference to this story, that another time....

school off at rain, girls are quick to cycle off boys not to eager to get back

loved the movement in the Neem leaves, on way to carpet villages, Mirzapur
