After a long spell of humid heat you get thrilled seeing dark clouds hovering above you and finally becoming a huge mass snuffing out bright daylight. As the dark clouds build up making rains imminent you are welcomed by a cooling breeze. And, when the big raindrops hit the ground in a scattered way first and then get into a heavy downpour the hard soil start emitting a deliciously sweet fragrance that many of us are accustomed to (you may call it a stench in concrete jungles!). You become ecstatic!
Those were the moments back in Guwahati, our home town, we enjoyed and cherished ! The scenes were in and around our ancestral home there.
Meanwhile, Mumbai got into a most lucrative rain-mood three days back, but gave it up soon afterwards due to some unknown reasons! Or maybe El Nino? This is becoming a real scare for the Indian Monsoon this year. On that particular Mumbai mood the met department did forecast heavy to very heavy downpour for the next 48 hours.
We hope for the raining best blessing the farmers and us alike, of course!
I love the rain, brings blessings. I love it so much I named my kid Raine!

i love rain! :) feeling the heat right now in the Philippines makes me wish it will rain. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cold wind and downcast clouds before the rain..a little drizzle is good too. rain is ok, as long as it doesn't flood! :)
ReplyDeleteThere's something about rain that seems to clean up the air.:)
ReplyDeleteLiving in a tropical country, I too know how to appreciate a good downpour. If only there's a guarantee that flooding won't occur! :)
ReplyDeleteI love rain, it's cool and I love the sound coming from the roof. But not so much when it's flooding hahaha.
ReplyDeletesometimes i hate rain, especially if it is heavy. the town where i live is a catch basin. so sometimes i expect flood whenever there is a typhoon
