Raindrops falling on my head...

What is it about the rains that makes us so happy? It was a hot hot summer day. The whole day it was alternatively clouded and sunny, as if the rain gods were tormenting and teasing everyone with the promise of rain. Then suddenly towards the evening, when one had all but given up hope that its going to rain, there was a huge rumble of thunder and the skies just opened up. The aromatic smell of water falling on the parched  earth and pavements filled the nose. It was utter and sheer nostalgia...
People everywhere :some enjoying the rain, some running to get out of it, children dancing in the rain,  the traffic on the road squishing and splashing along, fresh vegetables, the trees swinging in the rain, some bent with the weight of the water...Everything new and fresh with a new lease of life. Everyone laughing and chatting away, no frowning faces, no anger..just happiness and joy. Got to love the rain! It just washes all the negativity and cares away and only leaves love, laughter and life behind.
