First rain drop

We did not hear the voice of rain. In day today life everyone is so busy that he does not have time to take the food slowly or to hear the voice of a rain.But I heard and feels about that first rain in Bangalore.Spring set in silently in Bangalore. The garden city wore a look of lush greenery all around. The flowers bloomed spreading fragrance in the air. New leaves sprouted giving a new skin-top to the branches. There was vibrant color everywhere. But, the mud, trees, shrubs, flowers, birds missed something. In fact, Mother Nature looked incomplete.

Then, the sky was overcast with thick black clouds. Somewhere, far away, a slash of lightning flashed the sky. Thunder struck loud and clear heralding the arrival of the first summer shower. Yes! The much awaited first drop was here! That first shower. Indeed, Mother Nature wanted that first wash….to cleanse her….to make her pure and new.
