Monsoon's normal this time too!
I'm definitely back to blogging.This being my second post today. I was surfing around now when I came across an article on a news website, saying that the monsoons are going to be 95% normal this time. The five percent shortage hardly matters, as the government had gone into panic mode, suspecting a 45-50% rainfall this year. Its a great relief. It will definitely save a lot of lives...the lives of those who work on the fields..those who had written to the President to end their lives.
Rains matter a lot to an agrarian economy like India's. With everything hung upon the fields, it would have been a calamity, as many were suspecting, if the rains would have been anything short of normal. Its funny however. The Government declared Madhya Pradesh as Drought Hit just a day ago. I'm waiting to see what they will do now, or rather say.
