It's afternoon. Middle of the day. It is hot. Then it starts getting hotter. More than it is supposed to be at this time. Then the breeze suddenly dies down. The chirping of the birds suddenly stops. There is now a pronounced silence. Before you know it, dark ominous clouds gather in the sky and the bright sunlight is enveloped by moisture-laden, low flying, dark clouds. A drizzle begins. Soft beads of water begin to cover the earth. And then, its not a drizzle anymore. It's a full-on attack of huge water droplets that begin to fall with increasing intensity; only to stop when the earth is drenched in the downpour! Yes, that's rain for you! Did you know that there is actually a term for people who love rains? Yes, they are known as pluviophiles ! They are the people who enjoy rains, who find joy and peace in the rains....
Seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary
