You wake up to the scent of wet earth and fallen neem leaves, and find that a hot and stuffy bungalow has been convened into a cool, damp place.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As heavy monsoon winds begin to blow at the end of every summer, an entire country waits with bated breath. Once rain hits the parched land, the arid landscape slowly turns green. Humans, whistling thrushes, frogs, beetles and geckos-all rejoice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhispers of the Rain\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of short stories that celebrates the 'true spring' of India-monsoon.
