From last 2 months I wake up in the morning not from the sound of my alarm clock but from the sound of rain…living in ncr (indirapuram,near delhi) ,I have never expected to see so much of rain in my locality..
Since a child we have always waited for monsoon to arrive in Delhi. Every day the meteorological department used to predict something in the newspaper and we all used to wait for the prediction to come true. But later we realized that the actual thing that happens is the opposite of the predictions made by the meteorological department. Monsoon is such a wonderful thing. It represents peace, calm, happiness, and cry, hurt, hate as well.
In school days I use to wish at rains starts at the time of our break or when the day ends so that we can enjoy it properly. We can have hot pakoda and tea and enjoy rain…it really tastes awesome…since pakodas are already yummy but rain adds more taste to it.
It goes as follow
How beautiful is the Rain!
How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain!
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hoofs!
How it gushes and struggles out
From the throat of the overflowing spout
Across the window-pane
It pours and pours;
And swift and wide,
Like a river down the gutter roars
The rain, the welcome rain!
But this time no delhite have ever thought of the amount of rain Delhi will receive, all the past records have been broken...
Since 2010 is one of the important years for Delhi because of CWG and specially this time period.
But this time after seeing and experiencing the difficulties that rain bring along, I wish that that monsoon comes in Delhi just for few weeks and not for months...excess of everything is bad since excess of rainfall brings Waterlogging problem, traffic snarls, stinking garbage and an outbreak of dengue…students and office goers has to face the ,maximum problem…there are leakages in metro and metro station sometimes the seats of metro are also wet…and everyday government officials blame each other and when the monsoon is over they forget and repeat the same thing the next year .
Just for now I hope that the rain stops so that our country is able to hosts CWG properly without any more difficulties….it can come anytime once the games are over.
Rain rains go away,
Come again another day.
Athletes want to play;
Rain, rain, go to South,
Show your face again after games!
nice.... i loved it. . . :)
