Monsoon Quotes

“Vagabond Poet (Sonnet) Bi' gün değil, bugün, bugün yaşamalı, bugün parlamalı, bugün uyanmalı, bugün yürümeli. Wear your wounds like crown, not tomorrow, but today. In front of your thunderous resolve, intimidating clouds all fade away. Where lips don't speak, eyes do - where eyes don't speak, backbone do. And once backbone has spoken, all the militaries cannot render it untrue. Poetry, my nationality, words, my brethren. To the world I'm monsoon, for inside I'm barren.”

“Why are the desert blooms that spring to life after a monsoon so magnificent? The answer is – their impermanence. The lush growth and blooming flowers do not last very long here in the desert, and this new growth only happens once a year. If this growth was never-ending, we would soon take it for granted. Likewise, our human lives. What makes them so special and unique? Our fleeting impermanence.”

“Searching in an ancient rain-fed lake in northern India, paleoclimatologists using radiocarbon dating have discovered that 4,100 years ago, the summer monsoons began a rapid decline. They did not return to normal for two centuries. For an unimaginable two hundred years, the Harappan region saw hardly any rain. Around the same time in China, Egypt, and Mesopotamia, the three other earliest-known civilizations also were lost to the dry sands of history.”

“To know India and her peoples, one has to know the monsoon. one has to know the monsoon. It is not enough to read about it in books, or see it on the cinema screen, or hear someone talk about it. It has to be a personal experience because nothing short of living through it can fully convey all it means to a people for whom it is not only the source of life, but also their most exciting impact with nature.”
