Now that the summer season is over, the gloomy monsoons have crept in. While many enjoy the rainy months, others feel the brunt of melancholy. Overcast skies, muddy streets, and less sunlight are to blame. But, as author Marie Lu says, “Every problem has a solution”. And Shweta Tiwari has found the perfect way to beat the monsoon blues. How? By reading books. In an Instagram carousel, the actress was seen reading Leah Redmond Chang's Young Queens. The dramatic tale follows the story of three powerful queens, Catherine de' Medici, Elisabeth de Valois, and Mary, Queen of Scots. “Don't race. Take your time. Enjoy the journey,” captioned Shweta. Her motivational lines fit like puzzle pieces on how to get over monsoon melancholia.

Reading needs patience and individuals with a busy lifestyle are unable to devote hours to the practice. But since you cannot go out in the heavy rain, you likely have a lot of time in hand. This will enable you to get in the good habit of reading. What's more, you can also develop a new hobby.
Scrolling endlessly on cellphones during the monsoon season just because you cannot step outside can be detrimental to your health. But a book acts as a form of entertainment and does not cause any damage to your well-being.
