Rain: A little bit of magic for everyone

On a lousy Monday evening, you wake up after a late afternoon nap to expect a further lousy evening and to your surprise the sky has planned a special treat for you and there it is, a rain. Nothing cheers you up more than rain, provided you don’t have work and all you have to do is sit and just look at rain quietly from your window. Small droplets of water twinkling from the sky fall on earth to make everything look more beautiful. The soothing noise of drizzling catching your attention and melting all the worries away. You remember your past encounters with rain, hard to forget as rain made them all very special. It may be a paper boat made by your father to leave on a small water trail on road, a bet with your friend to run on a wet road as fast as you can, a sudden rain during a family trip and all hiding under one small tree to keep themselves a little less wet, a long walk on an empty road with someone special, a lonely walk just to take your mind off from everything that’s bothering you. Rain has always been there as a silent listener witnessing all these special moments in your life. But like other special childhood memories, fate of rain is also to be just a memory and a hindrance for the present. Rain is more of a pain for us when we start caring more about reaching office in dry cloths. As wisely said by Roger Miller, “Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet”. This monsoon let’s try to cherish the happiness offered by rain and be grateful to the joy called rain. Let’s get back to childhood and make paper boats for that little water trail, let’s run with friends in rain on an empty road, let’s backpack and get back to beautiful nature, and let’s remember that it’s never too late for anything and help rain in bringing back its magic, for us, for everyone.
