The arrival of the Monsoon season always tends to stir a feeling of nostalgia and excitement in our hearts.

After all, who amongst us doesn't have fond memories of dancing or playing games in the rain, sipping a cup of steaming tea, munching on fresh home made pakoras, or just sitting in the veranda happily watching the rain pouring down - a welcome relief from the scorching summer heat.

However, over the past few years our relationship with the monsoon season has soured. We no longer want ourselves or our kids to get wet in the rain for fear of catching a cold or infection. The monsoon munchies we used to savour earlier, now threaten to upset our stomach, and most of all, the rainwater we used to enjoy dancing in, is no longer safe and free of pollutants.
