A Rainy day

Now , why am I writing about such a childish thing?

Does it read like a first standard essay topic? Actually, rains are the source of joy and sustenance to us Vijayawadaites, who are at the mercy of the sun and sweat all year long.

A ride in the rain might be difficult for the rider, but nothing like it for the pillion riders. Thanks to the water pools, the children can let paper boats afloat. Have you ever ridden a cycle through a puddle of rain water? It is fun! A hot cup of tea, some oily savoury snack, open windows and balconies to let the rain in, the picture is complete.

Yes, they say that the first rain carries impurities. That is true. So, wait for the second spell. Get drenched. Have a hot water later to ward off an unwelcome cold. Enjoy the rain and welcome it , because the rain isn't very generous when it comes to our city!
