Naturopath and acupuncturist Dr. Deepti Bhatnagar—mother of actress Aurra Bhatnagar—recently shared why the monsoon holds a special place in her heart. For her, the rainy season is much more than a change in weather; instead, it symbolizes healing, reflection, and the promise of fresh beginnings.
Dr. Deepti Bhatnagar opens up about why monsoon is her favorite season, sharing her love for rain, simple pleasures, timeless music, comfort food, and scenic hill station escapes.
According to Dr. Deepti, every rainfall carries an important life lesson.
“Monsoon is nature’s reminder that every challenge eventually gives way to growth and beauty,” she said during a recent conversation.
The Magic of Rain and New Beginnings
As soon as the first showers arrive, Dr. Deepti finds herself captivated by nature’s incredible transformation. The earthy fragrance after rainfall, vibrant green landscapes, cool breezes, and the soothing rhythm of raindrops together create an atmosphere she describes as truly magical.
“I love the freshness that the monsoon brings,” she shared. “The smell of wet earth, lush green landscapes, cool breezes, and the soothing sound of raindrops create a magical atmosphere. It reminds me that after every storm comes growth and beauty.”
For her, the beauty of the season goes beyond its scenic appeal. More importantly, it serves as a gentle reminder that difficult phases in life are temporary and are often followed by hope, renewal, and growth.
Finding Happiness in Life’s Simple Pleasures
Rather than looking for elaborate ways to enjoy the rainy season, Dr. Deepti prefers embracing its quieter moments. One of her favorite monsoon rituals is sitting beside the window with a hot cup of coffee while listening to calming music.
At the same time, she enjoys getting lost in a good book as the sound of rainfall creates the perfect backdrop for relaxation. These peaceful moments, she believes, help her slow down and recharge.
Whenever the weather allows, she also takes leisurely walks in the drizzle. Not only do these walks refresh her physically, but they also provide mental clarity and inner peace.
Meanwhile, rainy evenings are reserved for watching favorite movies and spending meaningful time with family, making the season even more memorable.
Capturing the Beauty of the Season
Besides enjoying the weather, Dr. Deepti also loves preserving its beauty through photography.
Whether it’s rain-soaked trees, sparkling leaves, mist-covered landscapes, or dramatic skies, she enjoys capturing moments that showcase nature at its finest. As a result, every photograph becomes a lasting memory of the season’s charm.
‘Rimjhim Rimjhim’ Is Her Ultimate Monsoon Melody
Every monsoon comes with its own soundtrack, and for Dr. Deepti, one song stands above the rest.
Her all-time favorite monsoon number is the timeless Bollywood classic “Rimjhim Rimjhim.”
Explaining her choice, she said, “Its beautiful melody, heartfelt lyrics, and the iconic rain-soaked visuals perfectly capture the romance and charm of the monsoon season.”
Even today, the song continues to evoke nostalgia and beautifully complements the peaceful mood created by gentle rainfall.
Pakoras and Masala Chai Make the Perfect Pair
Of course, no Indian monsoon feels complete without comfort food.
For Dr. Deepti, nothing matches the joy of enjoying crispy pakoras alongside a steaming cup of masala chai while watching the rain from indoors.
“The crispy pakoras and the warmth of tea make the perfect combination while enjoying the cool weather and watching the rain outside,” she shared.
Not surprisingly, this timeless combination remains a cherished tradition in countless Indian homes, bringing warmth and comfort on rainy days.
Dehradun and Mussoorie Are Her Favorite Monsoon Escapes
When it comes to travel, Dr. Deepti has two destinations she never tires of visiting during the rainy season—Dehradun and Mussoorie.
According to her, these picturesque hill stations become even more breathtaking once the monsoon arrives.
“During the rainy season, the hills turn emerald green, waterfalls come alive, and plantations create a breathtakingly beautiful landscape,” she explained.
Moreover, the mist-covered mountains, cool climate, fresh air, and cascading waterfalls create the perfect retreat for anyone looking to reconnect with nature.
Monsoon Is Ultimately a Season of Gratitude
For Dr. Deepti Bhatnagar, the monsoon is ultimately a celebration of healing, resilience, and gratitude.
Whether she is sipping coffee by the window, listening to timeless melodies, enjoying pakoras with masala chai, capturing nature through photography, or exploring the lush hills of Dehradun and Mussoorie, every experience reminds her to appreciate life’s simplest joys.
Above all, her belief that “after every storm comes growth and beauty” extends far beyond the rainy season. Instead, it serves as an inspiring life philosophy—one that encourages people to embrace challenges with patience, knowing that brighter days always lie ahead.
