RAIN RAIN GO AWAY .

Looking at the rains from my italian style window is great fun ,specially with a piping hot cup of ginger tea. It's fun looking at the raindrops falling down with cool breeze blowing along with it , it makes me feel so good n charged up that i get charged up to do my daily household chores but sometimes when free from all the chores i really love to sit n enjoy the rain with my tea, when all alone i soon go down the memory lane n see my school days as to how rain used to bring relief to school kids like us especially when there were heavy rains we used to get a holiday to avoid inconvenience . We used to enjoy going home splashing the water but now  the situation has become different after the rains of 2005 . People hardly enjoy rains ,even children who have had a bad experience of the flood during rainy season fear even with the noise of thundering n so rain has become a demon for half of the metro population . It was really a bad experience for one n all , i remember my house being on the groundfloor was flooded with rain water . Many important documents were destroyed ,things were floating including the gas cylinder. The worst thing was removing the dirty water accumulated in our house ,thanks to my B-I-L n his wife [as we were in a joint family ] the water was removed n the house cleaned in a few hours after the rains . I would like to thank my S-I-L for letting us stay with them for a few days as she stayed in the same building on the top floor infact none of us can forget her untimely help as that time my neice was just 7 months old ,if it was not her then i don't know were we would have gone with the small baby. It was at that time that i  remembered the very famous nursery rhyme' RAIN RAIN GO AWAY CUM AGAIN ANOTHER DAY', it was such a situation that everyone struck in the rains must have remembered it as though it being a prayer to the rain God. This was actually a cruel game of nature when many lost their dear ones ,some lost their belongings , there were some who lost their shelter . The door bell rang n i came out of my thoughts ,opened the door there was the post man at the door poor soul drenched in the rain that was falling heavily. One thought that came to me after seeing him was how for an earning people have to work in a season like this also n people like me who are at home enjoy the rains from inside the house.
