Essay on heavy rainfall in a town or village
Answers
Answer:
In the countryside even altar the heaviest rains, the water is drained away into the tanks and low lands; the village homesteads are seldom waterlogged. Streets in the city are under water for hours after a shower. The underground pipes are not of a capacity to carry off the large volume of heavy downpour. The result is that the surplus water overflows into the streets converting our city into an island, for a time.
A Street after a heavy shower of rains — particularly in Calcutta has its own special characteristics. The streets and lanes become minor rivers and rivulets. As soon as the rain ceases, boys come out in their numbers to play.
To one who lives in the better type of houses, a shower of rain is often welcome. He sits quietly by the window and listens to the music of the pattering rainfall. And if he is a busy man of the world, he finds a secret pleasure in being forced to stay away from work, and feels the hours flit by to the accompaniment of the music of rainfall.
