Rains Are A Blessing For MankindAfter

Rains are a blessing for mankind. After hot summer months, we can only wait for a rainy day.
I remembered one such rainy day when I was going to school. I noticed a change in weather. The clouds gathered in the sky. Thunder rolled. Suddenly it started raining. There was a downpour for a short while but soon it turned into a steady rain. I had to give up the hope of going to school.
I saw people out in balcony of their houses thoroughly enjoying the showers. Children moved out almost shrieking in joy. The small children also started playing with the paper boats which they made with multi-coloured paper. All the dirt and dust from the plants and trees washed away.
The heavy rain went on for hours together. The roads and streets went under knee deep water. The parks turned into pools of water. Buses, cars and other vehicles stopped plying. Pedestrians were wading through the water. The normal life of the city was disrupted. However in the evening, the air became cool and pleasant. The trees looked fresh and green. A rainbow appeared in the sky adding to the beauty of nature.
It is exhilarating to watch pouring rain and is truely a great blessing of God. I enjoyed the day listening to songs, seeing the sights of rain outside and of course, eating delicious dishes.
