A couple of days ago, the city experienced the rain again. The weather is still rainy. It's a good feeling.
The kind of heat that the city faced couple of weeks back cannot be cooled by the air conditioners at homes or in cars, or by ice creams or parks. The city needs to drench. It needs to soak its sun-tanned feet in the rain water. In moments when needed, rain is a beautiful thing.
I was out, without an umbrella as usual, when it started raining. Like everybody else, I rushed towards a shelter that evening. While I was rushing, I noticed a few cliche rainy day scenes.
People hurrying to find a place under the roof of the shopping complex and bus-stop.
Fruit-sellers hurriedly wrapping their fruit baskets.
A guy running past me.
Cars splashing muddy water as the drivers drove through puddles.
This was not how I was going to experience the rain of the season. I slowed down. I decided I was going to enjoy it. Though I knew I could not spread my arms, look up at the dark sky to feel the raindrops on my face, and sing or laugh in the middle of road. But I did not want to rush anymore. Because the rain did not annoy me. Because the cool breeze did not make me lose my mind. I had always been somebody who enjoyed rains and I wanted to continue to be that somebody.

The best thing about rains is that they bring a smile on your face and you don't mind the cool breeze make you shiver. And because suddenly romance is on your mind, all you start to wish for is for that one person to be there with you; to walk hand in hand in the rain, or to find a shelter together and giggle all the time until the rain stops.
Rain makes me feel like I am not alone.
Like I am relaxed.
Like I am happy.
Like there is somebody right out there for each one of us.
Like it's Paris or Rome. Because love is always in the air when it rains..
Yes, rain is beautiful.
