Straight From Heaven




Stuck in traffic...horns honking from every direction...pools of water stagnated at every corner...life at a stand still...no way to go forward or move backwards....agitation got the best of people unable to reach their appointments or prior commitments on time or those just waiting to go home after a tiring day...and they started blaming the god forsaken showers which came out of the blue and wretched their precious belongings...

Sitting in her car Naina felt frustrated at her inability to do anything....fumbling with her phone, she stared out her window and saw a little boy jumping up and down in a puddle of dirty water...as she saw his muddy feet, the disgust she felt was quite visible on her face...until her gaze moved slightly up and she saw the most radiant smile she had ever seen...the mere act of splashing water all around him, lit his face with elation like he didn't have a care in the world...

Staring at him Naina got of her car...standing at the side of the road...she felt little droplets of water touch her cheeks...her hair...her nose...sensing every single one of them...closing her eyes she felt a gush of wind...making her hair fly back...rising goosebumps on her arms and at the back of her neck...she trembled slightly as felt every nerve ending come alive inside her body...taking in the fragrance of the damp soil beneath her feet, a slow smile adorned her lips without her even realizing it...with her mind completely empty...not a single worry...not even a minute thought at the back of her head...finally she gave her over-thinking sub-conscience some rest and felt at peace...like she had been running for hrs and at last sat down...

All 'she' desires, is for us to take some time out of our busy schedule and appreciate her...abandon everyone and everything...and enjoy a moment filled with tranquilly and pure happiness...to lose ourself in its beauty...its serenity...
Pouring down its mystical rains on us is Mother Nature's way of telling us to STOP.
