Rain plays a role in the hydrologic cycle in which moisture from the oceans evaporates, condenses into drops, precipitates (falls) from the sky, and eventually returns to the ocean via rivers and streams to repeat the cycle again. The water vapor from plant respiration also contributes to the moisture in the atmosphere.(wikipedia).
I studied in my primary classes how the it rains.I also studied the poem "Rain rain go away".The little child wants to play .So it asked the rain to go away.I also repeated this when I was small child.During June,July and August every year it was raining in my place heavily.It was raining cats and dogs during July middle.It brought heavy floods.
Our school was in a thatched roof building.The cudgen leaves would fly away by the wind,that came before the rain.Now the classrooms are open."Mukalil akasam thazhe bhoomi"(sky above and land below).I feared the roaring thunder and lightning.Once the lightning struck on the coconut tree and got fire.My cousin brother got electric shock.He was bent .He has to be beaten with dry bamboo to be straightened.It was haunting me .So whenever there is thunderstorm
I fear.I chant Arjuna,Falguna ,Vijaya,Partha,Dhanunjaya,Kireedy,Vatsa.All names of the Hindu mythological Mahabharat's Hero of bow and arrow.When it rains ,the roaring thunder will stop.
Since we cannot go outside for play WE children singRain Rain go away.But Later when I became an engineer ,an irrigation engineer .I saw farmers of the border village of Palakkad ,Kozhinjampara.But it will not rain even when it rains all over the land called God's own country. I am going to tell the story about that.
It will continue to rain............
