Lightning flashes like swords of Gods, thunder rolls like drum beats. Gray sky turns pale pink with each strike .
Leaves upturn their faces towards the biggest show on Earth. The magic, the drama unfolds.
The parched, dry Earth waits to catch the beads of water in its palm, while the wind tries to sweep away the gathering gray clouds.
Lightning begins the game of hide and seek with shadows. The rain starts, one drop here, another there and suddenly a downpour.
Streamlets start flowing on the roads, commuters get drenched in seconds. No umbrellas in hands, people rush to take cover.
Puddles fill up immediately, dirt washed off, make things muddy. Pedestrians huddle under any shade they can find.
Sometimes hail accompanies, falling from sky like white unwrapped sugar candies. Damaging months of farmers' hardwork in minutes.
And the show suddenly stops...as abruptly as it had begun.
Winds win in blowing away the clouds, thunders move out of earshot. The Sun peaks out and lo! The rain is over.
Sun starts shining with a vengeance. The rainbow silently, colourfully tries to attract attention towards itself.
People resume their commute, dirtier than usual. Hazards await, stray dogs shake themselves dry, inconsiderate motorist splash water as they speed.
Meanwhile, the clouds start gathering up again, defeating the force of winds. Blocking the Sun once again and the audience waits for an encore.
