Dewdrops

the harsh summers,42 degrees on the outside,an oven at home ,the air condition struggling to make good the 22 degree limits and u sweat like a leaking water tap .Lo behold! u look outside the window and see the swirling dust storms.Look up and u see the dark clouds having an urgent meeting at 30000 feet contemplating whether to give up and let loose or stick around and make us sweat.And the unanimous decision is to break free which results in a thundering decent of raindrops followed by flying papers.dust,and the smell of mud softened by the water droplets that advise our senses that the much awaited monsoons have arrived at last.
strangely pretty close to the meteorology departments predictions for a change.Atleast something is on time here.The residents,office goers ,students,young and old scramble to get wet or not to get wet as per their personal preferences.In the pandemonium that follows what do we see.Clusters of traffic under the trees,bridges,blocking up space,youngsters speeding around as if they just got intoxicated,splashing water and silt on the poor pedestrians.Car drivers trying to scramble home and driving like maniacs or lost cattle,some of them violating rules which is the norm of the day nothing new( without which they don't feel at home),and end up in traffic jams and huge snarls,flying tempers and chaos.Wow what a way to welcome the long awaited rains .Rather than soaking up in its wet and cool arms we act like a bunch of wild unorganized set of idiots.The trees spread their leaves,the flowers bloom silently,the street dogs for once calmly soak up the wetness except us,mankind.Why I wonder do we not have the patience to soak up the god gifted ambiance and let it sink within so that it flushes out the dirt,evil sides of mankind and start afresh to make this world a better place.
