Rain is not romantic for everyone


Some people become overjoyed seeing the rain, and the people on the street become disoriented. Rain is memorable for some people, but for others, it is the biggest cause of unemployment and misery. Rain does not bring a romantic feeling for everyone. To some people, rain is the reason for the complaint to the Creator.

When it rains, some people become romantic and want to get wet in the rain. Some people even write stories, poems, and songs about rain. In that rain, one has to constantly struggle to survive in a hostile environment. Rain and storm destroy their homes. Almost all the roads and streets go underwater, which hamper our everyday activities. To avoid being drenched in the rainwater, people stay inside their homes. This situation is just like opposite sides of the same coin. 

Whenever it rains many people start to prepare hodgepodge (খিচুড়ি) and beef curry. On the contrary, wrinkles appear on working-class people’s foreheads for they worry about earning their daily livelihoods because the rain will deprive them of one meal. Many people want to take a nap on a rainy afternoon while many wait for the rain to end so that they can return home empty-handed with a heavy heart.
