It has started raining in this side of Karnataka.The heat is gone and mornings are cloudy with drizzles that are at hours apart.One had to take the umbrella today when going out.The rains here bring the temperature down to such an extent one has to wear a sweater sometimes.The rains are unlike in Kerala where it rains heavily nonstop and with one stroke can bring the sun shining hot and bright and the land getting dried soon,here it drizzles and keeps the land continuosely wet and the cold sets in.Suddenly you want a cup of hot coffee and wants o lie down under sheets.
A rainy day to me is time for cleaning ,and as I feel the chillness in the air ,I warm up by house cleaning.So book racks are sorted again ,and the show case made to look different and if nothing else works ,I listen to fast music and try dancing alone.The mush rooms come out in the fields outside.I do not know whether they are good to eat, as I have no idea of finding its edibility.But rains means mushrooms sprouting in fields for me.Also in my garden, I see long lost specimen coming up too.I had some lilly bulbs ,and I thought they are dead and gone and this rain, it has come with a shoot.
A rainy day also is time to watch the school children struggling with books and rain coats, and buses having wet floors and all in an irritable or silent mood.It can be either,no energy to talk or all energy to shout.Another strange phenomenon that I have observed is that when, it is about to go home in the evenings from office/workplace, it rains.Your office ends at 5.30 P.M.?The rain somehow knows and starts at 5.30 sharp.Your office at 6 P.M.? Be sure it will start raining at 6P.M.It was during such rainy seasons waiting to get home ,that I started playing the carrom board at my office games room.I even partcipated in tournaments organised at staff level.Second round or third round defeats though.Never went beyond that.
After coming home from a rainy day, it is really difficult and irritable to change. One has to change as one is wet,but one has no energy by that time.But rainy days are prelude to prosperity, and no one need say that lack of rains had the farmers on toes.But I like the earth after rains.Cleansed and fresh ,the vigour very much evident, in all that sprouts around you.
So welcome rain.Iam your fan.
Jayamala.
