Waking up to the sound of rains and sensing the enchantment of its smell, monsoon makes us all experience a mystical power of nature to communicate with the human soul.

Freezing gushes of winds slightly blow your hair whilst making your attire wave with it. A sumptuous ambience in neutral shades elevates the mellowness of the atmosphere. A rhythmic composition in the background consisting of sounds of rain and moving clouds adds to the illusionary aura. Amidst this woolgathering climate, you are transported to a speculative state of mind.

Monsoon is an incredible escape to get a break from the mundane. While you are flummoxed in the complexities of balancing your act between quality work and deadlines, holidays and pending works, getting work done by people and bringing new clients, reaching on time and avoiding over times, the season arrives ringing an alarm for an essential break.

Putting a stop to the bewildered thoughts of making a choice between passion and pleasure, one can take a short and definitive break to feed the soul with enthusiasm. No, you don’t need to go to faraway places to get this magical escape. Instead just lose yourself and find solace in simple things available around you in the city itself.
