Even if you're at home during the monsoons, you can turn it into a lovely experience. Make sure that the activities you do are light-hearted, fun and intimate. You could snuggle up with a book or play board games or catch up with family.

You know you’re from the tropics if you love monsoons. This is the one time of the year when the leaves are green, the skies are cloudy and the temperature drops, making you reach out for your comfortable blanky.

While there are those who love to get drenched in the rain, it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Sometimes the sound of hail and lightening is best witnessed from the comfort of your home. If you belong to the latter group, then these at-home activities will make monsoons even more enjoyable for you.

Read a book

This is one of the best things to do on a cloudy, rainy day. But remember to choose a book that makes you nostalgic, dreamy and puts you in a comfortable place.

Catch up with family

If you live with you family, then get together and catch up on everything you’ve missed so far. Sharing stories over a steaming cup of tea makes everything alright.

Watch a movie

Again, it’s best to watch comedies or dramas that leave you appreciating the weather even more.

Get busy in the kitchen

If you’re someone who likes to perform a lot of activities, then head to the kitchen and whip up a monsoon treat. From bajjis to a cake, everything tastes better during rainy days.

Invent a game

It would be a wonderful idea to spend time playing a board game or conjuring up rules for your own game. It helps keep the mood light and the heart excited.

Share Stories

If you have little ones at home, then keep them busy by reading a story. You can make this time extra special by including their favourite food.
