Rainy day is a day of mixed feelings, scenes and responses. Unusual as it may be, a rainy day if it is just at the onset of the rainy season, it is a very welcome change from the scorching heat.

However, if it is a rainy day in the midst of the dull cloudy season, it is irritating and bereft of all fun and glamour of the season, and of a bright sunlight of a day.

The mixed feelings are just due to the positioning and time of the rainy day, for, when a rainy day is in the midst of the heat of summers, the change from the scorching heat is a great relief and pleasure.

This is because it soothes the very nerves of people who have been burning in the heat of the long summer days. Then, the day becomes a special day, which all of us cherish. The day accompanied with rain, cool breeze and, the overhanging clouds give relief and succour to the very inside of our beings.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

However, at the same time, while we feel refreshed, if we have some urgent work to perform out of the home, this same rainy day becomes more of a nightmare than a pleasure of any sort. How will the task be done, how will the target be achieved and many such other questions arise in our minds and give rise to disgust in place of fun and freshness. Thus, it may be said that it is blend of a “feel good” feeling and an “irritation” seen on a rainy day.

If the same rainy day occurs in the midst of the long rainy months, it has almost no pleasure accompanying it. The weather gets cooled down considerably, the breeze is a panacea to the tired nerves and so now why this rain? If the rain gets too much to bear, the very atmosphere seems to be stinking with a foul smell. A peculiar numbness can be felt in everything around.

In the homes, the ceilings start leaking, from where the patch of paint gets pealed off, and this is the result of an unpredictable or too much of a rainy day. It brings with it nostalgia for all that is around, when the sun and the brightness of the sun get as if lost somewhere, and the entire environment is grey and dull. The silver lining and the clouds and the pleasure the sight brought are all lost and only dullness persists.

Thus, a rainy day is at once a pleasure and distressing depending on when it occurs for, it brings with it just cesspools of dirty water all around us, which in turn stink and make us feel depressed.
