વરસાદ RAIN

It is raining since last two days. Fortunately, I am enjoying weekend and not require go out of my home in the rain. I always love to see raining. It reminds us the power of nature. Within a couple of months, energy for whole year is available to each and every living thing. From a smallest insect to a biggest animal everybody welcome the rain. The clean and heavenly water is second most required element for life after non polluted air. I see everybody is resting during rain. No animals, no birds and silent trees. Everything is waiting for a marvellous sunlight when clouds become empty and a sunny day rises. Till then they all enjoy the sound of water droplets in the water flowing in streets. “Varsaad” a gujarati language word made of two different words – Var and Saad. Var means the best and Saad means the voice. The ever best voice of world – VARSAAD. In hindi it is known as Baarish(derived from Bahar e ish). The thing which able you to experience the beauty of GOD.

How can one forget to eat special rainy dishes? My favourite is Corn dishes. Specially “Corn Khichdi”. Pickles are meant for this season only. During these days it is very difficult to go out in bazaar to shop for green vegetables. Pickle completes your favourite dishes with a royal touch. Any kind of pickle definitely force you eat more.

The lighting when occurs in heavy rain. A momentary light line joining mother earth to father sky followed by a big sound to celebrate their meeting appears. An immortal romance! Every time an unforgettable once in a life time experience…

Waiting for rain starts from the day it says a ‘bye’ for this year. But when it seems that it is coming to meet us again, we start to find a way to escape from it. Raincoats and umbrellas are get a pre monsoon check and if required a new purchase is made. Still I got wet almost each day returning to home, if it is raining. Each year I wait for it to come and each year I want to go away from it.

Okay then right now I am going to enjoy VARSAAD with my umbrella!!!
