'Diary entry of a rain-lover'

It rained today..
It wasn't the first time that it rained here. But this time it seemed special.. the tapping of rain drops on the ground felt musical. Why is it that rain is so loved by so many people? 


Does it invigorate some kind of chemical reaction in the human brain or does it create some kind of magical spell?
It makes people nostalgic, romantic and fills them with tranquility. And the ones of my kind become poetic awakening the writer within. One can't help but scrawl on paper whatever comes to mind.
With rain, comes the raining memories of years gone by. A love lost, a love found, the childhood paper boats, the snacks and coffee, the rain songs, carefree dancing in the rain, cuddling with your favorite book at the window side and musical rain in the background or just simply watching the rain drenching everything..
You think of the rainy days in the school.. the pitty-pat..how happy it made children. And in college, how you would miss the class just to gorge on hot samosas and coffee with the company of friends.
You don't think of the days to come but enjoy the present looking at the sky.
The pleasure is all you feel.. doesn't matter you are alone or in company.
The petrichor fills up your senses.The rainy fragrance makes every breath you take delicious. You want to breathe deep. You don't want to blink even for a moment. You don't wish anything more but you wonder about nature's beauty. While watching the beautiful ripples made by raindrops, you think of love and life.
Even the departure of rain leaves you with rejuvenated self. For it's all drenched. There's a new you.
The ambient air is cool and fresh.
You breathe deep and you don't want to blink...
You don't want to close your eyes..
For rain has made ever
ything afresh..
And your heart smiles..
You can feel it smiling...
