First Rain - Recollection Of Memories

Everyone love's the first rain as it refreshes our old new memories. I also have many memories with every first rain I came across in my life and amongst them childhood memories are special ones.

I would like to share my childhood incident when I was roughly around 7-8 years old. During our childhood almost all of us used to be in beds even when sun was right above our head, until the mom used to come and wake up forcefully. The timing of my school was around 10:00 am so my mom used to wake me up around 9:00 am and I used to hate that moment. But that day was special when I woke up on my own little bit earlier and went near my window, when I looked outside the scenario was mesmerising the sky was filled with dark clouds and it was raining heavily. Due to unpredicted heavy rains people were running here and there for shelter, even birds were in distress and everything was just beautiful, but the real happiness was to hear the words from mom for not going to school due to heavy rains . Before this I had gave many reasons to mom like stomachache, headache, kneeache to bunks school and today also I was planning to convince mom by some reason, but luckily at the same time I heard the voice of my mom saying, " Chakuli aaj nako javus shalet khup paus padto aahe", my happiness almost reached the seventh sky.

Pleased with the moment I went in my room made paper boats with waste papers and with extreme excitement came into my veranda, outside atmosphere was amazing everywhere there was water, and the most important thing which made me peaceful was the essence of the clay. I saw a shadow of someone coming to me from road I went near and saw it was a tiny little puppy getting wet in rain, I brought him to my home rolled him with my towel and gave him biscuits to eat. Birds were also getting wet on trees after some time my friends came and we enjoyed a lot, we were madly jumping in the muddy water and feeling the heavens. Rain stopped and we all went back to our homes, I came back entire body filled with mud which mad my mom mad and she scolded me, immediately she took me and washed me off. I was tired enjoying the entire day I came near mom and slept in her laps. Those days were really very pleasant, I hope you might also such lovely memories with you all because the rains carry alot of our memories. Some might have their first rain first love memories, some might have their childhood memories, some might have many more experience with the rains. Rains help us to hide our feelings no one knows we are happy or we are sad. I hope reading this blog you all might are recollecting your memories with your first experience with rain.

" Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm but to add colour to my sunset sky", a beautiful quote by Rabindranathji Tagore.
