Rainy day
It has been raining continuously for two days. The rain fell in the dream during the continuous silence in the early morning sleep. In front of my eyes, I see a swamp, the city's streets and the rain falling on the shutters of closed shops. I woke up, but the rain continued outside. Outside, the rain was making its presence known like a green bird.
Already the entire sky has turned grey. The story of rain with yellow-stained roads on the black pitch will continue for a long time. Here we have monsoon rains not following the traffic warning signs. This monsoon rain stopped everything, and the calendar pages also started to rain. The rain touches the bodies of people's homes, the bonnets of busy cars stuck in traffic, the heads of trees and the weary wings of birds.
Rain fell in various spheres of the city. I also like to touch the rain. The joy of feeling the rain while sipping a cup of tea while listening to your favourite songs on the radio is no less than a luxury. It makes me think of a rainy day. I considered that it rained again in the old city 40 years ago.
The village's roads have started turning into rivers due to the heavy rain. Someone has lost the necessary umbrella; someone is floating letters written in pride. How many things are associated with this continuous rainfall? The rainy season can leave city dwellers alone. But this teenage monsoon creates an unknown sadness in my mind. I can feel that now standing at a distance of a long time.
For me, old memories stand in this monsoon, the submerged staircase of a defunct architecture. Some are still floating in the rain, and the rest is lost. It rains from morning till evening in my city. The lights of the sky are sinking. I spend a lot of time on rainy days. It is as if a state of non-stop rain is created in sleep and sleep. I sit on the balcony and enjoy the shower until my mind is drowned in the rain.
After the scorching summer heat, when nature opens its heart and offers rain, it cannot be missed. A few days ago, the life of ordinary people became unbearable due to extreme heat. There was no way out of the house. Everyone has a call to the Creator, to let the rain wash us away even for a moment.
Finally, the rain came. I have heard from many of my friends that they don't like rain very much. They have put many arguments behind not enjoying it. But I don't know why rain attracts me more. I find joy in doing everything on a rainy day. It is nice to walk in cool weather after the rain is over.
Whenever I get time, I take my little niece for a walk in the afternoon. My niece who, like me, likes the rain very much. On rainy days, friends chat more and more. Whenever we think of going out with friends, we often see rain. In the rain, all the unknown sorrows inside oneself disappear instantly. A kind of happiness can also be found in the family aspect because no one wants to leave their house during rain. So you can spend a lot of time together with all the family members.
Bengalis have some exceptional food that only Bengalis like to eat on rainy days like Khichuri, Meat, and Rice Bread. So just as the rain is being enjoyed for two days, the food of your choice is also being eaten. So I hope everyone is enjoying the rainy day on their way.
