As we enjoy the rainy season, I've got a thought. What happens when you are lying on your bed, which is near the window, and suddenly you hear the pattering sounds of the raindrops, which suddenly changes your mood? Your face will definitely be lit with a smile because you know it is the ‘rain’. You will try planning different activities, either having tasty food, watching the rain through the window or going down and enjoying a rain dance. You automatically will feel happy because of the rain.
However, is it really the same for everyone? No, it is not. Not everybody is fortunate enough to have a cozy bed to lie in when it rains. Not everybody gets to enjoy the comfort of cozy homes during rain. Not everyone gets blissful dreams. For many of them, this rain becomes a nightmare of destruction. I have seen animals seeking shelter under trees and the tin roofs of the small roadside tea stalls.
Passing by people shoo away these animals and try to shrink themselves under the limited space of these shops. The poor animals are left shivering and drenching on the roads. The poor people whose houses were broken by winds and storms find shelter on the railway or other stations. Some get soaked in this heavy rain and some have the luck of admiring the rain and its beauty in their warm and cozy homes. Not everyone perceives rain the same way as we do. For some, it could be the worst time of the year!
