Answers
It was just another morning of a regular rainy season in Mumbai when I woke up at 6 am to see off my father going to Bhopal for work. It was cloudy and dull with some drizzle but everything looked peaceful.
I lazed around till about 7 am and then got out of bed to get ready for school. By around 8 am, when I was ready to leave home, I realized that it had been raining heavily for quite some time now. When I looked out of the kitchen window, I watched trees swaying and the drains has begun to overflow. Should I go to school at all? But then I had to go because it was internal assignment day. And I was a student who had never skipped school. So I set out much to my mothers reluctance.
As I walked towards the main street, I saw a big traffic jam at the junction. I could barely see anything as it was now pouring badly. I waited for the signal to show the walk sign, keeping my raincoat cap from pulling off, wiping my spectacles again and again. On days like these, I wished I could see clearly without my eye glasses. It was only a ten minute walk to my school but the rain was getting worse by the minute. By now, my school uniform was all wet under my raincoat and I had begun to feel cold. I would usually walk quickly down the lane occasionally stopping by House No 3 in the lane to spend some time with the owners pet dog. When I reached their gate, I saw that their fence and the front side of the house had been damaged because a tree fell on their fence and on their house. I was beginning to get scared now as there was knee-deep water in front of me. I struggled to wade through the dirty water and somehow reached my school gate, only to have the worst experience of my life. A school student fell into an open drain outside my school gate right in front of my eyes. She just slipped away in front of her mother. But before I could react, the school watchman who was helping students standing outside pulled her up.
I was in tears now, and I wanted to go home to my mother. I dragged myself to the gate and asked the watchman to help me. They had closed the school for the day. I was taken to the staff room and given hot tea and something to eat. My mother was informed that I was safe in school and that they would keep all students here till the rain subsided. My teachers did their best to make us comfortable, although they too were drenched, shivering, and scared too. They had left their families and children at home, just to make sure we would be fine.
It stopped raining late in the evening and when my mother came to pick me, I was the happiest person on the planet to see her. We went home and on our way I met Percy, the pet dog from House No 3. They had decided to temporarily shift to another location and they were all safe. Back home, I was treated with my favourite dishes for dinner and was tucked into bed with some medicines for the slight cold and fever I got because of being in the rain for long. As I lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, I realized that I could have avoided the misadventure by thinking about the situation and staying indoors for the day. I was blinded by my stubbornness to not bend according to the situation. I learnt my lesson. Sometimes it is better to bend than to break.
Answer:
A Rainy Day
- Meena
On 11th August when I woke up at 6:30 am in the morning, it was raining heavily. Although it was time for my bus but there was no rush around since when I was asleep my parents got the news that school got canceled today due to heavy rain. As our house was quite near to the main road, I could hear the noise of car honks and all the other vehicles. There was soo much rush as people were late for theirs offices and work. But for me it was a holiday at home with tv and tasty food. After I got out from my bed I saw my father leaving for his office with a line of tension on his forehead that weather he will be able to reach office on time or not.
My mother was busy too as our maid couldn't come due to heavy rain and her house was also flooded so my mom provided food for her children later. The whole day passed watching tv, talking to my friends, listening songs. In the evening it stopped raining so, my mother and I decided to go for a walk in the park. When we stepped out of the house the sky was clear, I could feel the wind into every part of my body. The park was also crowded as all parents came with their children. There was still rush as everyone wanted to reach home as soon as possible as they wanted to enjoy this beautiful weather with their family and friends. After returning home, when my father came back from work we had a cup of tea together with lots of talk.
It was indeed a good day for me. It was a day I wanted for a long time. So my experience of a rainy day was good. I would like it to happen again.
