Summer rains!

I hear Thunder, I hear Thunder,
Oh don’t you ? Oh, don’t you ?
Pitter-patter raindrops,
Pitter-Patter raindrops
I’m wet through,
I’m wet through.

It’s raining!!After suffering all the heat....the rains have bought a smile again! 

As the weather grew windy, I started to look at the window. I smelled fresh wet mud as it started to drizzle. This for me is among the most beautiful feelings every monsoon. I instantly smiled at myself as I saw it rain. I moved up to the terrace to see the rains with my little world around. It was wonderful, just all of sudden the trees looked greener, Vehicles moved with the headlights on and they moved slower, the movement of people was slowly reducing as it signaled heavy rains, the wish list discussion among my colleagues had begun, ice creams to hot bonds, cigarettes, some coffee(which was available) and the list goes on. Just then a lightning struck, it was a dangerous one but just too beautiful to be missed, which was then followed by a thunder.

 I just love the rains…..feeling the rain on my face is just marvelous….but with all my colleagues around, I was reminded that I was now a working adult L, I have the responsibility of taking care of myself and staying healthy.

The least I could do was to feel the rain on my palms and I realized it was raining hailstones. A hot sunny day it had turned to a cool rainy day. It was 4.45pm, but looked 6.45pm. For once it felt everything had turned upside down the dusk had already set in.

Most people always associate the summer with the brighter side of life, bright emotions, longer days, bright colors etc. But it is also true that rains are refreshing and add to the beauty of the brighter side of life.

 ‘Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain'.

Rain has always been an epitome of charged emotions; whether it is love and romance or the hidden tears of sorrow!

Truly, there is nothing as pretty and refreshing as a much awaited 'summer rain'. This was it!

And I now await the beautiful rainbows!
