RAINY DAYS
Rain is the most beneficial of all types of precipitation.
Rain, midnight rain, nothing but the wild rain
On this bleak hut, and solitude, and me
Remembering again that I shall die
And neither hear the rain nor give it thanks
For washing me cleaner than I have been
Since I was born into this solitude.
Blessed are the dead that the rain rains upon…

Everybody wants happiness, and nobody wants pain, but you can’t have a rainbow without a little rain.
Rainy day is one such day that is awaited by everyone. People of every age group love and cherish this day. In my family everyone from my grandfather to my younger sister gets overjoyed on such a day. Rains transform the weather from blazing hot and dry to refreshing. Plants, birds and human beings, everyone participates in celebrating rains. Trees turn greener, peacocks begin to dance, farmers turn cheerful and we all relish the rain party on the earth. Weather has a strange way of impacting our mood. During the hot sunny summer days, people often tend to get angry and aggressive very quickly. The sweat and scorching heat during such a day gives rise to violence and fury. People are often seen in a bad mood and tend to get into arguments and fights easily. On the other hand, a pleasant rainy day uplifts the mood automatically. It is a treat for the senses. Everything around appears joyful. People plan outings with their loved ones on such a day just because of the awesomeness it offers.
The Sun after the rain is much beautiful than the Sun before the rain!
There is a word like ‘petrichor’ : A pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather. Rains are blessings. Rains are a curse. If we could control rains and bring them on wherever we are in need or keep them off as long as we desires them, of course rains would be a blessing.
After the rain, the sun will reappear. There is life. After the pain, the joy will still be here.
Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.
