First Showers of Hope..

May month was one big deal for us. Its the hottest month that we can have. After such a season we obviously expect to have a break from all hotness related to the season. Hot sun, dryness, sweating and many unknown problems with in every person. Wait for monsoon season is simply having a change.. Having a break and change from every difficulty of life.
I was sitting outside my home. At my door steps. Deeply thinking about every smile and every tear in my life. Reason behind my every happiness and sorrow. Reason behind my silence and helplessness. Reason behind everything I face. The sun was shining extremely bright. Extremely bright to rid off all the darkness. But may be that is not enough.
Suddenly the shine in him is decreasing. It was 4 evening. I am able to see the clouds forming. Clouds forming with a great ease and becoming thicker and thicker. It is generally normal to see those.. A bit of hope was aroused among people around me. But as the clouds opened it was vanished.. A vanishing cloud formation and a vanishing hope.
Again I saw the cloud formation. It was a mere guess that this would be a vanishing cloud too. Everyone was engrossed in their works. Feeling dry and sweating doing those. But the clouds didn't made our guess a right one. The thickness was increasing. Increasing with the enough water evaporated from every lake, river, pond, sea, ocean. May be some water from us too. After all, our sweat also evaporates. And the cool breeze made another step to prove our guess a wrong one. As we turned to the other side, the cool breeze made us feel heavenly. Every organ in me felt that. Felt a change in time. I closed my eyes and my hair beautifully blown for it but was gently blown. Wow what an experience!! An automatic smile was seen in everyone here. Even me. I was smiling too.  The first thunder and the lightening in the sky poured down its first drop on me.Then as I came out from my home, I felt the first drop of rain. The first drop of rain. It took me to an unknown ecstasy. Completely unknown one. It was roughly a medium sized rain drop. It first fell on my cheeks. That was literally an amazing experience.


Many such drops. Of different sizes. If one is of a small size then one is of a large. On different different places. One on my hand, then one on my forehead. One on my eyes then one on my fingers. I felt every drop falling on me. Deeply cleaning up every fear, every wrong and pessimistic thought inside me, in fact everything. Every drop shows its crystal clearness in it. The clearness and purity of every drop was felt by me.
Its not only me, every one felt this. May be everyone felt this. I can see kids coming out of their home and playing in these showers. Playing in the small ponds. Playing with paper boats. Wow such a great nostalgia!! Elders having a smile on their faces seeing their kids play. And the petrichor rejuvenating the olfactory senses. Missed that from one year.
These first showers brought the foodie child in everyone. Some kids crying for pakodas, some for ice cream.. If some elders wanted hot tea, some wanted cold coffee. But whatever it was, the rain brought up a change in mood for everyone.
I can not only see the happiness in people but in every creature around me I saw the reborn vitality. Rejuvenating the vigor in every corner. I saw small frogs jumping around me. Earthworms sowing the soil. Puppies and kittens enjoying themselves in the rain and their mothers watching them.. Every tree around us regained its beauty. Every leaf had these waters through its veins. The rain drops on the leaves looked like refreshing morning dew on them.  May be even those were waiting for these showers. After all they have life too.
And as its showering, I can see the sun shining a bit on the other side to bring another masterpiece of natural beauty. Every drop falling from the clouds were reflecting and forming a rainbow on our side.. Aesthetic beauty that was. Kids and elders were excited to see the first rainbow of the year. Rainbow bringing the beauty to the evening and showing every great color of nature.
The clouds slowly lost its water content and the rain slowly turned to a climax drizzle. Then slowly it ended up by showering its last drops to us. The sun had set by the time and I saw moon rising up from the other horizon. Everyone back to their work. And every creature to its home.
There after it was a season for monsoons. And it went very well. But whatever it is, the first rain experience bringing the change in time is a different experience. Nothing can replace that..
