KARACHI: Roads are drained, there’s no electricity at your house and soon that power bank might as well give up. But still there’s hope or perhaps there isn’t. Regardless of whether you see the glass as half full or empty, these mesmerising melodies are definitely going to add to your mood.

The unique assortment of songs celebrates our soil’s traditional romance with Sawan and reminds us of how badly we need the rains for our own mental wellbeing and the nature that makes our lives livable and lovable. Happy Monsoon!
