The First Drop of Rain

The first drop of rain

Punjab or specifically we had our first sandstorm; you know the kind they love to talk about. The one where everything flies, windows rattle, doors creak slam and shut and every little scrap of garbage that has been dotting the landscape flies around round and round along with millions, gazillions particles of sand like a vortex. Oh, I know it’s a housewife’s nightmare and one is left with the cleaning up and dusting and wiping and getting rid of all those branches, leaves but for one moment stop and just go with the flow

I did.

It is beautiful, the drop in temperature, the clear wind after watching the storm and the fresh fresh air. It’s like I’ve been re-programmed after days of intense heat and sweating like a you know what. On second thoughts, do women sweat or perspire?

Well, it was exhilarating. A ride out with the kiddos in an open jeep and just soaking in the real world. I am not being a tourist nor am I selling anything here nor am I a preacher. Just for one moment look up from the virtual life we have built ourselves, the endless texting, whatsapp (the next frontier), FB or just being glued to television.

To discover the joys of just being out, smelling the first drop of rain on the parched earth is priceless. Nobody till now has been able to bottle this, nor can any flower’s essence replicate this true feeling that just makes one alive, and conjoins one to Mother earth her bounty and Nature like an Umbilical chord.

I strongly recommend all of you to just get out and enjoy the real world rather than sit and watch the next program on Discovery Channel. Go ahead, discover yourself in the open , right now. Sometimes all we need is that one perfect moment to let all the clouds of darkness fly away , and make everything clear . For me, it was the first drop of rain today that blew away the clouds of lethargy and gloom. Life will be the same, and we will again get involved in the fight to choose which leader will lead us to a more stable economic future. It never stops , no one till now has been able to seize time and make it stop but for me , it was Carpe Diem..

Gather the rosebuds while ye can , and yes take out time to smell the roses when you can before we might see the next specie in a laboratory what with the scientists developing a thorn less rose.
