The light showers in the afternoon today and yesterday were much awaited treat to everyone after more than fortnights of dry and torrid days. After wreaking havoc in most parts of our country especially in the southern regions, the rain refused to show its face for more than 17 days. Although hot and dry the days had been, the nation got enough time to recover the aftermaths of one of the worst monsoons ever. The things are now almost fallen into shape. But the plants and trees seemed in dire need of water. I have seen the flowers around wilting and earth wrinkling with cracks due to continuous sun shine. The heat had been intense everyday that sweats streamed even when we are not working especially during electricity blackouts. For the wilting privets around our national flag in front of the administrative building, I had to water every evening. Since yesterday I don't have to with the come back of the rain. Moreover the children won't have to struggle to break hard bouldered earth in the school agriculture garden for their up coming gardening works. And the farmers' corn will germinate better with a touch of rain. Perhaps plants and trees would have been watered free of cost.
