‘On such a day, it can be said, in such a heavy rain…’ Whenever it rains, a kind of attachment increases in the mind. It seems like an indescribable wait is created for someone. Lovers fall in love anew, lonely people also search for a soulmate. They want to stand under the awning of the same shop and listen to the sound of the rain falling outside. Or to cross the road under an umbrella, slightly wet, slightly alive, holding the hand of their partner. There are even songs, poems, and movies about the monsoon.
But does such desire really increase during the monsoon? Or is it because of the influence of movies and series that all such thoughts come and go? A survey reveals surprising information (Romance During Monsoon). Recently, a popular dating app organized such a survey. They questioned about 250 Indian single youth. And they found out that 76% of them feel more lonely during the monsoon. Loneliness seems to be a constant companion during rainy days. They are always single, yet they look for an unseen ‘person’. And that is why the crowds increase on dating apps, social media or roadside cafes.
People fall in love easily during this time, says the study. Heavy rain outside, such weather seems to connect people’s minds with each other soon. People stuck in traffic jams on the road or in offices and shops due to rain become interested in each other. Perhaps many people help each other out of such situations and return home. Phone numbers or addresses are also exchanged. As a result, mental dependence is created. People call temporary infatuation love.
The study also reveals that people may develop weakness towards someone they have not thought about loving separately all year, if they meet on a rainy day. This phenomenon is not so mysterious, the main reason for this is that the weather affects people’s minds. For the same reason, people are more bored on hot days. It is easy to get into arguments on the street. Or, because the mind is relaxed in autumn, the mind wants to find joy in everything.
