It was around 6 pm. I was out enjoying the walk and fresh air of the hills. Suddenly, the weather started changing, the black clouds came all over me and within a moment, the blue sky turned into a black one. It got completely dark and started raining. I rushed back quickly to my room and got myself inside the blanket as the temperature dropped down to 1 degree Celsius. I was waiting for rain to stop but it didn’t and rained whole night. I could only hear the susurrating sound of rain falling on my roof top and telling me its story. In morning, when the rains were over, I woke up to the songs of the birds. The fresh, sweet earthy smell pulled me out of my room and I was awestruck to see the heaven on earth. The black sky turned into white. The fresh snow looked like the jewellery on the face of distant mountain peaks. The bunch of white clouds on hills were looking like a river of pearls flowing through the pine trees. The fresh green colour of the trees was so refreshing and a treat to the eyes. The colourful small multi-storeys huts of the village were giving a finishing touch to the portrait. The touch of tiny droplets of the drizzle on my face was feeling like an unconditional love and devotion. The cool breeze was giving me a tight morning hug and that’s how I opened my eyes to the beautiful nature. ~ AB
