Monsoom Wedding : Listen to the falling Rain, Listen to it Fall

ENGLISH SONGS AT THE END OF THE POST
The sound of rain w/o music

HUGE Fierce Monsoon hits India - The First Rains

If you watch this video on youtube
on your right side
scores of videos
about Monsoon Hitting Kerala Coast
each of which is amazing to watch

In the morning MET spokesman said , " Monsoon,  was to hit Kerala coast on 1st June , though delayed by 4 days will hit Kerala , today 5th June , and it will be normal , set my mind on this blog post on Songs based on Rain.

    I just Googled  "Monsoon rains hit Kerala " and look what I found :-))) MONSOON HAD ACTUALLY HIT KERALA !!! MET is right thanks to weather satelites. Their accuracy is unquestionable. So lets hope it reduces prices and improves Sensex. .

What I found on Google were sopme awesome pictures.

I am Nothing Special, In fact I am a bit of a Bore, So I say Thank You for the Music, for giving it to me :))))

WHO AM I?




Im nothing special, in fact Im a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
cause everyone listens when I start to sing
Im so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud



So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs Im singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
