Troposphere.                                                                                          334001,                                                           

  Respected Rain ,

Myself Nikhil Bansal from India. I am a student from Bikaner (Rajasthan). You might familiar with the place. This is a personal letter to inform you that it's been very long time you have visited our state. Last year you visited our state like a true Indian leader. But this year hasn't yet. Although your colleague as DUST , SANDSTORM , HEAT , HUMIDITY etc. have already been marked their presence and still present continuously, but as you know we human need each and everything in proper proportion , it's access in quantity now.

Sun appears as stopped revolving. When we wake up it's there and remains shining till late. It's not we don't like shining but it gives many more things along with light which causing people die here. It's not human beings are only suffering but animals also in the same state. Since they can't write so they want me to write for them. You know about "pigeon" , the bird only drinks your water , yes it's also suffering because it's now enough long it had drank water.

We are proud to be called agriculture based economy in the world. But it's really sad when we came across the news that about 1500 farmers committed mass suicide just because last year you didn't poured you water for them. We know that in west of the Aravalli range, the climate is characterised by low rainfall but there is difference between 'LOW' and 'NO'. We know you are angry with human behaviour of wasting water everyday and wants to teach a lesson but in my humble opinion it's enough now.

Dear rain we have some facts which may help you to take decision if you should visit Rajasthan or not. here these are -

1. It's time for a pre Monsoon now.
2. Currently are under forest of Rajasthan total area is 9.53% and according to Rajasthan forestation policies its productivity will be increased massively.
3. To set-up Rain water harvesting system in houses is compulsory.
4. People became more aware and enthusiastic about plantation.
5. Dense forest has improved in last 10 years.
6. North- East India occupies 25 percent of India’s forest cover.

So these are a few facts you will be happy to hear and wish you will visit Rajasthan this year for sure. One more thing I would like to tell you that our Rajasthan is a very nice and colourful place. that's why we call it "Rangilo Rajasthan" also and you will certainly enjoy your trip here.
Concluding my latter I would like to say this is the time of vacation for children , time of examination for college students and time of plantation of corps for farmers so please do come in time and make our life better than now.
In hope for a good rain this year,

Yours sincerely,
Nikhil Bansal
