Mawsynram is
a village in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya state
in north-eastern India, 65 kilometers from Shillong. Years ago
there lived a coy boy named soham .He was 21 year old. His parents were worried
due to two problems, firstly the marriage of soham, and secondly due to dry
weather. Because of no rain in the past 5 years, land there had become barren
and dry. people were surviving on underground water resources. Soham was so shy
that he never talked with any girl or with anyone in the village. One day a
group of travellers were travelling from Bengal to Tibet. They were on a
journey of 400 miles on their horses. They found
shelter in mawsynram. In that group of travelers, there was a girl named
shoma. Shoma means a tributary of river
ganga. she was very beautiful with beautiful black shining hairs and a cute little face. Her father Deepanth was the leader of the
group.one day Soham was wandering in forest in search of night supper, and his
eyes fell on the tents of bengali travellers. He cleverly peeked through a tent
where he firstly saw the girl with whom he fell in love at the first sight.
Shoma when noticed that someone is lurking inside the tent,she picked up a jug
of water and poured it on him. Soham with wet face was staring constantly at
her. Shoma asked Soham for his name, Soham replied with a shy red cheeks,"
my name is Soham,i am a denizen of Mawsynram, but you should not waste water like this,water is
precious. We r surviving on ground water from last 5 years we didn't get a single drop of
rain from sky". Shoma replied," By your talks you seem to be intelligent but u should not peek through anyone's
personal room. Soham replied smilingly,"okay i am so sorry,i'll
never do this again.. By the way who are you? What's your name? I never saw you
before here" .Shoma," My name is Shoma and i am from bengal.we all are
going to tibet. We r traders. My father Deepanth is leader of this group.. Come
on i'll introduce you to my father".Soham was a shy guy..he was afraid of
strangers but Shoma forced him to met her father.When he met Deepanth,(as
Deepanth means a friendly character) he
showed him his golden jewellery and ornaments.bDeepanth requested soham to
bring more people here from his village so that they can sell their products to
the villagers. Next day Soham came there with few villagers and on the way to
their shelter Shoma met them in the middle of the way and when both Soham nd
Shoma looked at each other with flirting eyes filled with attraction of love, magic
happened and the whole sky covered with black clouds and cloud started
thundering and lightning. Villagers were shocked "what was that??"
other villager replied with a surprising voice," a thunder sound". One of the villager shaked soham with his hand and this jerk broke the eye contact between Soham and Shoma. With the breaking of eye contact clouds frm sky dissappeared within a second. Soham asked the villagers,"what happened? Villager,"i heard a thunder sound and sky was dark just few seconds ago" Soham,"what are you talking ?? There's no cloud in sky see!! Shoma continued the talk by saying,"May be it was just an illusion..i was coming to meet you but see we met by chance here on the way”.Soham,"what happened ??is everything alright?" Shoma, "my father told me to request you that we are out of water now and there is no water resource around, so if you'll provide water for us, we’ll sell our products to you at cheaper rates. Villager replied with eyes full of greed," GO and tell your father that we will provide you water only on a condition if you’ll pay 50 takka for every bucket of water. Villagers returned back to their village. Soham and shoma conveyed the message of villagers to deepanth. When Deepanth heard this condition of villagers, he got angry and decided to leave the Mawsynram, The panchayat leaders of Mawsynram stopped traders to go away ,they forced them to stay there,because Traders had a magical gold stone and they were going to tibet to sell this stone to tibetians. The speciality of this stone was anything or anyone who touched that stone got converted into gold. and stone can be used 3 times in whole lifetime. Traders used it one time already. Panch Damich(oldest leader of village) used that stone on his house,and with in a few seconds whole of the house converted into shining gold palace.With this miracle,now everyone wanted to become owner of that stone and to become rich.Villagers attacked on traders looted their golden ornaments and jewellery and enslaved them in cave Mawjymbuin. Soham on the other hand decided to go against the villagers and to rescue Shoma and her group from the cave Mawjymbuin. He went secretly to the chamber in the cave where all were enslaved. He rescued them all but when Soham were rescuing them his eyes again attracted toward the beautiful eyes of Shoma. Shoma nd Soham were in deep love with each other and as the eyes full of love contacted again,clouds over the sky appeared again and again that thunder sound with heavy wind started. People were shocked at this.Deepanth when saw this magic,he understood that Soham was actually an Aquarius like Shoma born on the day of a solar eclipse. And in old scripts it was written that whenever a Aquarius couple born on solar eclipse will look at their eyes full of love.that will give birth to a huge cloud which will never get out of water. He told this to Shoma and Soham. Shoma asked his father ,” if we are aquarius couple so why didn’t it rained when we look at each others eyes first time. Deepanth replied with a smile,” because that day the most important ingredient of this magic recipe was missing. Soham asked ,” what important ingredient ??? “ Deepanth replied,” TRUE LOVE IN EYES MY SON!! TRUE LOVE!! “.. at this couple every one present there started laughing on both of them. Deepanth,” Soham my son!!! Both of you are made for each other..this journey was just a god’s trick to meet both of you. please take care of her, she love you too and both of you are born for a reason my children, now let’s find a way to get out of here” While soham was rescuing them, suddenly villagers came there and attacked on them and killed all of the traders including Deepanth. Soham and Shoma somehow ran away from there and stole that golden stone from damish’s house. After stealing stone when they both were running away from village.At forest some woodcutters caught them and brought them back to village. Shoma requested Soham to return the golden stone to villagers or villagers will kill them". Villagers trapped them inside a crowd of human circle. Everyone became devil in the greed of golden stone. Soham's parents were shouting and crying and requesting Soham to return the stone to Damish. But Soham didn't want to handover the precious stone to the greedy murderer villagers. In one hand he had a iron sword , his forehead was bleeding, Shoma was also crying on Soham's condition. Soham asked Shoma in a deep tone ,"o my love!!! They will kill us even after returning the stone, let's do something, let’s sacrifice our lives for a noble cause. Soham kissed her in front of everyone, with his red blood he marked a "maang-teeka" on Shoma's forehead this indicated that they were married now, their love is pure and nobody can kill their love,and both of them started looking at each other's eyes with a smile on their face. With in a second later, dark clouds covered the whole sky, and with thundering lightning and strong winds it started raining heavily.Everyone was shocked on this miracle. As the villagers approached further towards them to kill them,at that moment Shoma nd Soham touched together that stone, with this single touch stone was of now no use,as it was used third and last times ,In the cloudy day, earth met with heavenly water. Earth's thirst of years now came to end. With a beautiful nature show of lightning and thundering, fragrance of wet soil, and a beautiful couple with pair of eyes dipped in love staring at each other, holding each other tightly, their bodies transforming into golden statues and when the villagers attacked them it was too late. Soham's wish of “staring at her eyes for ever” thus also fulfilled.. Parents were crying and shouting beside their statues, it was said that on next day a huge flood came and people who were involved in this massacre including damish , that flood flew them all away. But water of flood didn’t even touched the good villagers and the parents of soham. Soham’s father became the new “gram-panch” of Mawsynram, but according to me it was the happy ending Soham and Shoma became the real golden rainy couple. From that day Mawsynram in cherapunji become the world's highest rainfall area. It is reportedly the wettest place on Earth, with an annual rainfall of 11,872 millimetres. According to the Guinness Book of World Records Mawsynram received 26,000 millimetres (1,000 in) of rainfall in 1985. Beside this heavy rain people there are still suffering from water scarcity. because shower of rains in Mawsynram are actually the tears of that golden rainy couple.. The village also experiences a brief but noticeably drier season from January to February because of the curse of the Aquarius couple. So love never dies and the people who come in between true lovers they are definitely punished by the God.
