Pros and Cons of Monsoon

While I enjoy this season the most and always waiting for it to start but this year I have seen the real effects of Monsoon season in my new home. In the city it does not rain much so we do not realize but here in the village it rains day and night and that also t is heavy rains with strong winds. My new home has been under complete stress with these rains. Every few days we have some or the other rain related issues. The major problem is with the electricals, something or the other keeps tripping. Then there is some or the other leakage issue when it rains heavily. The last week of July was like a terror, it was an exceptional situation which was totally out of everyone's control and we had water getting in from all the outward facing doors. It was happening because of the strong winds.

When I come here, the first day goes into fixing up all these things and then I am at peace. As it is I have OCD issues and also issues with wanting everything to be perfect and that makes my own life difficult because I keep looking around for what is not right and then getting it all fixed up. I cannot let things just be as is, even if it is little out of place I want to fix it immediately.

Now it is one more month of the season and then I may not face these kind of issues. But the thing is now that I have this home and it is a big one so it's a life long activity of maintaining it. The maintenance part becomes extra because I am renting it out for short homestays. I do enjoy doing all of this, yet at times it becomes too much to handle and for me the bigger challenge is that most of the time I am not around and I have to manage everything remotely with the caretakers.
