Monsoon is here; almost. This is the moment, that binds us all Indians; we watch expectantly its movement from when it hits the coast of Kerala and its journey to the rest of the country. It is when we can exhale. Rain brings relief from heat; water for crops; the smell of rain on hot earth is the best perfume. Monsoon is our true finance minister. But this is also the time for us to think water; think of the value of each raindrop. I want to talk about my journey to learn the extraordinary ways in which traditional societies had evolved to live with rain.
