Satellite images brought an early alert, that there would would 2 days of thunder & rain. What started on sunday continued till tuesday early morning . Continuous rain pour for hours in a row. Steady but heavy. Unlike storm of 18th july this year, this dose of shower was not in a rush.
By Sunday night several places of karachi had became inaccessible. Weather turned nice. All things rusty & dusty, shone. If i had never turned on the tv or listened to the radio; i knew nothing about the bad side of the news. Traffic jams, streets flooded with rain water, over flowing gutters, property related damages and not to mention electricity outages; was all over the news.
I closed myself inside a bubble which had all the goodness of rain with me inside it. Eventhough i had to conduct a radio show on monday evening, i made it to the studios without any bad news touching me. It is indeed sad of us to close our eyes, ears and murder our pure child like emotions associated with all things splendid.
Quran says
"AND GOD sends down water from the skies, giving life thereby to the earth after it had been lifeless: in this, behold, there is a message indeed for people who [are willing to] listen". [16:65] Quran
I read this recently and I wanted to to feel it. The melody of rain pour and cracks of a restless cloud; it is magnificent.
