MY EXPERIENCE ON A RAINY DAY

My Experience on 'A Rainy Day' gives me sour memories. It's true that rains are blessings but sometimes they are a curse. If we could control rains and bring them wherever we are, or keep them off as long as we desire them, of course, rains would be a blessing. But as we all know that elements of nature are not under human control, they are sometimes not to our liking. There was a day when it rained and I did not like it.

It was a usual day and I went to school but it was closed due to rain. I regretted not having checked any message or notification from school about the holiday. Though I was also a little happy about not having a school that day. Thus, I started for home. Even at that hour, I could see bad weather ahead. Dark, smoky clouds gave the warning of rain. I thought I would be safe if I got into a bus.

I was getting into the bus when it started raining and it rained the way as it had never rained. Within a few minutes, everyone was drenched to the skin. No one got the time to get shelter. In a very short time, the roads were flooded and the traffic came to a standstill.

Visibility was reduced to a few meters. It poured so heavily that even the headlights could not pierce the thick sheet of water pouring from the sky. Water collected more speedily on roads than it went down the drains.

The stalls and the temporary structures of the shops at the bus stop dripped. Those inside the shops and buses were in no way better than those outsides on the road, who were getting wet in utter helplessness. It soon became worse. The stools, benches, chairs and small tables, outside the shops and stalls, began to float in the rising streams of rainwater. It was a pity to see people running after their articles.

A man running to catch a bench fell into a drain. He might have been swept away by the strong current but the water itself threw him out. The poor man stood for a moment looking dazed at the rushing water.

It rained continuously for four hours and during this period all activities came to a halt. When at last the rain stopped, I was hardly in shape to carry on my journey. I longed to be al home in my comfortable bed. Finally, I reached homesick and sad.
