Rain, tea and music are known to be the right combination for anyone to spend a good "me" time. And most of us love describing how nice it would be to play while it rains - thanks to romantic movies! "Us amidst pouring"" is something all of us would have imagined in some point in time. Yet very few would have really lived the moment.
This being the rainy season, it makes me think who really enjoys rain the most: May be Kids. Not sure, though.
There are many beautiful things attached to rain for all of us.
Pouring of water from nowhereЁЯТз
The amazing sound it brings out ЁЯШО
The earthy smell ЁЯШЗ
likely chances to get a day off from school ЁЯШД
The chance to remain cuddled in closed doors ЁЯТЮ
power cut allowing to remain off our routing works ЁЯШЙ
Above these, every child (and the child in us) loves to play in rain. Ask them today, she or he would say a loud "Yes".
But are children really allowed to do so? Except for some unique species of parents, most of us give a firm "NO". The reason is common. The child might fall sick. This reason goes on till they finish their schooling because we are frightened primarily about our child's health. For parents of children in higher classes, its eventual impact on their performance in school.
Once we become adults, the desire to enjoy rain in literal sense slowly fades down as we tend to see it as an irresponsible act given our everyday duties and responsibilities. An adult is not allowed to fall sick or avail a sick leave by 'acting kiddish'. Come on, as kids we weren't allowed!!!
As we grow older, rain becomes a "undesired event" as it hinders household chores like drying clothes, shopping and reaching out to workplaces. Rain plays little role in our grandma and grandpa's lives.
There is only one phase in our whole life where we leave our inhibitions a little behind to enjoy rain - one's college days. Either with our friends or our partners. Yet, the society (including some friends & partners themselves) looks at it as "something odd" or goes to condemning sometimes.
Rain holds a very minimal romantic or fun or happy space in our real lives unlike movie portrayals and "rain play" always is an uncanny subject to our society!ЁЯШХ
