Microcosm of life- Rain. (Featuring the best scenario/feeling ever)


It's raining outside. The musty fragrance of the dust mingled with the scent of rain reaches you, the cold breeze stings your bare arms, the lightning glow gets reflected in your eyes when suddenly the sound of the thunder breaks you from your reverie. The gentle thrum of the rain setting the tone, the occasional cold drop touching your hand, the feeling of helplessness at being at the mercy of nature, which is pouring its heart out and confiding in you all its wonderful secrets.

The best representation by far :3, even the storm abates in the presence of this photographer 

Watching the deep purple colour of the sky, which lightens up ever too often, you consider yourself nothing but a mere speck in the vast continuum of life. At this moment, the rain increases in intensity, with Mother Nature showing her wrath at all things wrong. You calm her, placate her, wring your hands together and bow down before her with your face facing the heavens, feeling the cold drops on your face as a retribution for all things done wrong. The water pierces your clothes and the drops trickle down your neck, your hair all wet, and you stand up, trudge through the rain, thinking and reminiscing about your life before and your future ahead. All too soon, you can't feel the tip of your nose due to the incessant cold, and you start shivering, but all the while enjoying this wonderful experience that you have been provided with. Your olfactory receptors have never been as happier, and the fragrance mingled with the cold has overpowered all your senses and you can see nothing but the truth flashing in front of your eyes.

       
       
 My dream, the best feeling ever. 


After your stroll in the rain, you dry yourself, change, sit down in the balcony with a cup of coffee and a good trusted book. The fragrance of warm coffee, the scent of the book, and the musty fragrance of rain-mingled-dust is too good to be true. The train of thought takes you elsewhere, you're warm and snug in a shawl or a jacket, and you're staring into the dark road ahead, and experiencing this all while sipping the hot concoction and resting all your fears, worries and anxieties to another day :)
The rain would soon end, bringing the world back to order. Hence, it can be compared to life, with its ups and downs, culminating in rain being the microcosm of life itself.

P.S. All of this has been written in the ambience mentioned above :D
