I don't think many Decembers (exclude the last December!) had as much rain as this December is having in Chennai. Do you love watching the rain? Do you enjoy swimming in the well when it rains heavily? I do. It thrills! But... I have no time for these now. I spend few hours with my friends on every Sunday evening, playing cricket - I hate if it rains! I enjoy local bus travel - the wet umbrellas and raincoats with co-passengers, I hate if it rains. I love walking from Velachery railway station to the company - the potholes and the vehicles, I hate if it rains!
If you have the habit of going for a short walk in the evening along the Taramani road, you might have seen few families live on the road side. In fact, you might have seen them preparing and having food at that time, perhaps the Sun sets after seeing this.
I went for a shopping in that way yesterday night. It was raining. I wanted few shops to be open so that I can buy those things I had planned to buy. Not everybody thinks in the same way. I am sure those people sitting there wanted the shops to be closed soon. Perhaps a good sleep is what they are longing for on a rainy day - never easy for them. With few bed sheets and mosquito nets, they - may be people of three generation - were waiting to hear the rhythm of shutting doors.
Not just here, you can see this kind of people almost everywhere in Chennai. Is this requires a change? I am sure, this can’t be left to God. He won't do anything as He won't see this as one that needs alternate at all. It fine for Him within His design. Neither I prefer to see this as a changeable thing within my limits as I wish to save my energy for something else. Of course, remind you, I still hate the December rain!
