An extremely brief synopsis / summary of Grade 8 English lesson: A Short Monsoon Diary by Ruskin Bond
Summary in 50 words
In Mussoorie, Ruskin writes in his diary about monsoon. As the rain arrives, mist covers the slopes. Days blur with heavy rain, roofs leak, rivers swell. Ruskin enjoys listening to pitter-patter, watching world turn green. When the sun appears after a week, everyone likes being outside. By August, monsoon says goodbye, leaving lush forests, muddy memories. The monsoon, which gives Mussoorie its unique rhythm of heavy showers to sunny intervals, is both adored and feared.
