Chennai and its monsoon is a never-ending love story. While many believe that rain provides the essential water and resources for life on Earth, we Chennai residents tend to focus more on the holidays we get due to the rain than its benefits. Instead of appreciating the beauty of the rain, people often only think about work-from-home days or escaping tests. Rain has a unique charm that showers the world, even upon our houses. If people paused for a moment to recognize the beauty of the rain and the clouds surrounding them, they would undoubtedly feel love. Instead, they simply open their umbrellas and try hard not to get wet.
Rain is indeed the love language of Mother Earth. If you love her, you will hear her whispers in the rain. She cries and wails in pain from the misery she endures. She is joyful for all her children who coexist with her in various forms, yet she cannot bear the harm inflicted upon her. Mother Earth believes that giving her children time to learn from their mistakes would benefit both parties, but she remains unaware of the cruelty within her kin. All they do is exploit her to the depths of her roots, banishing her from existence. The only thing she can do is flood them with her tears. They have failed to understand her power in the past, and they continue to do so now. However, sooner or later, when she loses her patience, it will spell doom for humankind.
Believe it or not, we are nearing the end of the world. It is merely a matter of time before everything turns into atoms and molecules. All we can do is fulfill our duty to Mother Earth and bide our time, so we do not perish. If you come across rain, the next time don't try to open your umbrella instead open your senses to feel Mother Nature and her voice.
