A Rainy Day

 A Rainy Day 

A gloomy peace the morning brought with it and the Sun for the sorrow would not show his head. The clouds were dark and looked ready to pour down. A typical day, the typical ranting of curses raining in the vegetable market and my typical routine of buying groceries. Nothing new, nothing cheerful and nothing exciting

All at once, the lightning parted and the thunder blasted as they welcomed the new rain. The Market fell silent as it was spellbound with the beauty of their surroundings while the rain continued to fall without any thoughts of slowing down. All the bickerings amongst the people turned into an exchange of happiness and joy they felt because of the rain. 

An old couple looked at the sky in gratitude and their eyes were moist just like the clouds ready to burst into tears any moment for they never witnessed such a sight in their lifetime. The children who were going to school stopped in their tracks and began making boats with the paper from their notebooks. 

The gloom in the sky was replaced by a bright sun shining, which in turn created the most beautiful Rainbow which we have ever seen. Everything was different from what it was a minute ago, the Earth looked new, the children were excited and I was cheerful.
