Things I liked doing when it rained in Ghana....Stay inside and just watch it from the window...I wish I could have snuggled in bed with a good book- unfortunately this was not always possible :)....I tried to have a hot cup of tea and sip on it while working...listening to the rain....Is there anything more soothing? Sometimes, I liked to stand out on the verandah and feel the bits of rain which managed to sneak in through the chicks.
white sprawling porches
tropical rain pounding down
washing the dry ground
watery sunlight peeks through
sweet scent of rain lingering

Bombay has its share of the 'life-stopping-crazy' rains. living there wasnt fun when that would happen but i have always loved it. even if it meant walking 4 hours from office to home since the city was flooded. u put it simple through ur words...'it washes away all the muck' ......no matter what.
ReplyDeletei love watching the rain too. i love the raindrops on trees after it rains. i love having warm chai. i love the pitter patter esp on a tin roof :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband made a trip to S.Africa last december & there was a storm when he was there. He was like...it was like nothing he had ever seen....nature at its destructive best:-o.

I'm not the dancing in the rain types but whenever it rains[rain is rare here in dubai...maybe just once or twice a year] I send the kids out with an umbrella...they love it:-D
