^ Depends where you are born/brought up. Some people will prefer humid weather (Mumbai' date=' Chennai etc.) to dry heat like me.[/quote'] I find fry heat very painful. Especially the loo that comes with it. Also, it is very unhealthy.

OT- [History mode] These prayers and yagnas are repetition of history. The Indian mainland...especially the north-western plains extending upto the persian gulf and arabian peninsula went thru a period of severe drought for 300 years between 2100 - 1800 BC. The Brahminism variant of Sanatana Dharma that was under hegemony in those days did the same yagnas and stuff to please the "gods". But nothing worked. This was when people started giving up the vedic way of life and atheistic philosophies started taking birth and gaining ground. Gautama Buddha's philosophy was born under these circumstances which was later called Buddhism. And even later some aspects of Buddhism were Vaishnavized when Vaishnavism variant of Sanatana Dharma saw a rebirth since around 800 AD and Buddha was projected as an avtar of Vishnu. The drought was so severe that it dried up the largest river of the time, Saraswati. Of course we now know the reasons for the severe drought...there was a tectonic shift in the plates that caused the rivers and tributaries of Saptha Sindhu to change course and eventually dry up. [/History mode] In any case the seasons shift by a couple of months over a period of thousand years...and surely in our own life times we have seen the monsoon months shift by about 3-4 days. Usually in Bangalore the monsoon would arrive at around the last week of May to early June. In the last few years it is more like first-second week of June. However there is more serious impact due to global warming which if people have noticed over the years has actually decreased the length of the monsoon season and has generally made it inconsistent in its spread. I think even the process of seeding has an effect on this. All said and done a bad monsoon means we will be hit even more. And if we are to go by what Montek Ahluwalia has said today, we can forget about > 8% growth in the economy for the next 5 years
