Mohan, thank you my friend. I can imagine that it is common in India especially since it is the national bird. They are my favorite birds and as a result I collect motifs with peacocks - ornaments, jewellry, etc. Best wishes.

Lol..love how you captured the scene and put it in writing...Beautifully done!!

Thank you so much my friend for the compliment. Also appreciate you sharing the tidbit about your grandfather particularly since I also had a similar experience with my maternal grandfather who was Mayan. Thanks again!

It's a sure of rain, Pandita. We in our language say May-ao, may-ao, May meaning rain and Ao meaning welcome, welcome rain

Thank you, Dr. Ram for sharing that very interesting bit of information! As I can imagine the monsoon is indeed welcomed after a long dry spell!

My Native American maternal grandfather would say. "Rain comes, earth drinks, great Spirit showers us today"!!!! He could speak Choctaw but always spoke in English to we grandkids..
