On a rainy day
Just beginning of rainy season and we all are eagerly waiting for first proper rain of the season. Unlike the Mumbai and Maharashtra we don’t luxury to enjoy rain for longer duration. However, the feeling while enjoying the rain remains the same regardless of place.
Ok…so what do you generally do on a rainy day?
Well this question definitely has multiple answers….with different age group….and different work group… opinions will get changed. For me rain what was few year back now it is not the same…. So let’s not get into mind of people of different work group…as it will be bit difficult and lengthy process.
Let’s see how people’s age affects their opinion about rainy day.
During school life: Rainy day means “Freedom”
Writing from my very own experience…. With the word “Rain” only my eyes get lightened up… how can I forget the joy we used to have on the rainy day in school? Whenever rain get started in morning … I used to pray that it should stay little longer … long enough to convince my mom to not sending me to school. In case if I reach school before it start I used to pray that teacher should be absent …and class attendance should be low enough so teacher can’t take full class….no morning prayers and also period of sports at end of the day. We used to take full advantage of whatever little freedom we get due to this rainy day. List is endless and I am sure you all would have your own memories of school days. One thing was good at that time that….we use to enjoy the rain….without getting scared of getting wet….or getting scared of expensive gadgets or books. Ahhh…crazy cycling and racing with friends across the streets…that was time I miss most… but then school ends and we moved on to more freedom time in college.
During college life: Rainy day means “Love/Friendship”
Huhh…What can I say about this… Rainy day in college life means party…outdoor games…date with someone special….chai at some road side “tapari”. Feeling of getting wet in rain with someone special….singing songs…so many more things about college life about rainy days. We all love rainy day….we can bunk the class and can stay outside on football ground or in canteen…we can enjoy more freedom. Rainy day in college life…typically depict the freedom from all the rules of life, school, family…and it shows us the new found love and/or friendship in life.
Story of Working class: Rainy day means “Mess”
Well I have been to above class at some point of time….and right now in this class. I am working and frankly speaking now days I don’t like the rain much. I hate it when it started pouring while I am leaving to office…also it irritates me when it start raining when I am leaving from office. Why rains do have to come in morning or evening…..can’t he finish his business in normal working hours? I hate rain because it just makes mess of everything from traffic to office…from my clothes to brand new gadget. 7 out of 10 people from office will admit that…if they can stop rain by doing anything… they would definitely do that.
Well I also wanted to write about what rain means to people who are married (forget about enjoyment …damn worried about washed clothes drying in balcony) and also about retired people whose one important activity of a day (of pouring water to some plants in garden) gets cancelled because of rain.
But my client has just transferred me hell amount of work.... Grrr..... not a angry but need to move on with that work.... :p
Whether to rain or not is not in our hand.
So let’s not be the crying baby who always worries about everything…..and recall few good memories associated with such rainy day……. After all it’s all about dancing in the rain :).
