First shower with Rosemary

A shower with Rosemary

Hey there!

As I turned home from office today, it was evident that weather was going to turn weeping eyes to smiles. Clouds, thunder and a hint of eminent shower. As soon as I reached midway, it started to rain and gusts of wind so strong that they reduced vision by lifting up dust in the air.

For the first time in life I felt the joy of hard earned privilege of enjoying this season, the small droplets of rain from the middle of a blizzard instead of running for cover as I used to do a few months ago. I also empathized with those who still have to run around or wait for the shower to be over because I was so much one of them for so many years. While now, I was enjoying the weather, concealed from all the undesirable effects of the elements.


Rewound a few months and I saw myself covering up, packing up, rain-coating up or just giving in to the weather and try to enjoy being drenched. Now, I saw myself so blessed to enjoy the weather from my small comfortable, temporary haven. Thankful that in that moment of comfort I could spare a thought about myself when my destiny was counting down to bless me with this object of comfort. Saw myself wishing to deserve these amenities and put the efforts in to this effect.

Destiny has a reward plan-for all. Strangely, we do not yet know about how to think in her shoes. The best is to assume that all reward is proportional to earnest effort and perseverance.

I am also thankful that I could wish for the same comfort to those who are putting in their best foot in whatever duties the invisible powers have ordained for them. Some of them I can so much relate to as a person I was a few months back. Some of them whom I just wished a nice day just a few moments ago. Some who by virtue of their innocence, discipline and honesty, deserve much more comfort and luxury than they enjoy. Maybe it is their part of count-down to the rewards.

Good night.

  1. Rightly said that yesterday's weather was good for few people, because the strong gusty winds uprooted one tree in front of my house and it fell right on the top of my neighbor's car and thrashed front and back windows and also left huge dents on the car. Luckily, a 10 feet big branch of the tree just fell 0.5 meter away from my car (and not on my car). I quickly parked my car at a safe place before anything wrong could happen!!
