Dohatil Savlya by Vyankatesh Madgulkar

Since our childhood, we have heard a lot about rains. I have absolutely no idea if anyone else has understood its importance as we have. Our life depends exclusively on rains. We often try to bribe the rains so that they downpour on time. As a custom in the villages, the ladies sing songs while grinding on the hand stone grind. They weave in the rains beautifully while singing those songs. Why do we have such devotion towards rain? The answer is simple. We need the rains so that our mother earth could give us excellent yields in return.
