Dancing In the Rain

To come to think of it… shouldn’t I be writing about how Nature is bigger than man`- how it reminds you every once in a while that IT is really the cause of true happiness, sadness, creation and destruction… Given that the consequences of rains 15 days before expected can have ‘adverse’ consequences on the Economy, Livelihood, etc…

But I choose not to… Because the rains are here… That’s always a cause of this… feeling that words may fail to describe. The sudden change in the wind… the breeze… the moisture that seeps into the parched earth… sending out a faint, but welcome fragrance, a notice – The Rains Have Arrived!

And then clouds quarrel and rage mighty wars in the heavens above… their gargle… a sound no man made machine can match… A sound that can make you feel strong – I guess… the way no other sound can.

A long year has gone. As much as I know that a year is not over yet… I’m going back from unfamiliar to familiar. People walk back into my life, Distances heal, in a way like you wonder if they existed at all! The smell of the earth, the feeling of wetness, this welcome sort of chill in the air… The rains… the sound of raindrops hitting the several obstructions on its way to the ground… the fragrance of the earth when the raindrops finally reach there… the freshness on every tree, every petal and every road (if you must) every single morning… when the sun shines…only little… Just enough to remind you how important it is – in spite of having scorched you through the summers…
I don’t know why nature exhilarates me the way it does... Its just this one thing… but then... when you’re all alone on the rooftop laughing your lungs out for absolutely no reason but because you’re happy to hear the thunder and see the lightening while raidrops drench your body… it shouldn’t really be your botheration… should it
