And it Rained !!!

The long awaited rains finally made their arrival, shall i say, with lots of bangs and booms... The parched earth got its deserved share of the eternal nectar.. The sweet perfume of the earth getting watered has already intoxicated many. The status messages of people on gtalk n facebook have begun reflecting the arrival of rains. The monsoon has made its presence felt with its first appearance. Some are getting drenched in this rain, some are clicking photos of the first rain, to compare later with the greenery that will follow the rains. Some others are contemplating playing cricket or, even better, football in this rain as is always played and enjoyed the most. Still some others are enjoying the rains passively sitting in the confines & comforts of their rooms, by their windows, by their doors. But enjoying everybody is..

After a long, dry and extremely hot spell of almost 4 months, it rained. It rained. It rained on the heat parched land, giving respite to mother earth. It rained on the dry branches of the trees, comforting them and assuring them of greener days ahead. It rained on the people standing out and waiting, and made a soothing touch on their heads through the shoulders and the feet. It rained on the sores and heat boils of people and gave a natural medication, which has no other substitute. It rained on the clothes hanging on the clothesline, but no one's complaining. It rained on the tender wings of the birds, and they are enjoying the beautiful drops as they are sitting on the roof tops of buildings. It rained on everybody today, bringing about a wave of renewed vigour, passion, energy, enjoyment, fun and hope. Hope to us for a cooler and greener climate for the days to come. Hope to the nature for all the good the rains would give. Hope to the living beings for the sheer pleasure that the rains and only the rains would bring about. We all hoped.. And It rained..
