‘Mazhai’ [Rain] is one of the enjoyable aspects in nature. Chennai has been unusually pleasant for the last fortnight, especially last few days.
Wow! Hot sumptuous onion pagoda or Bajji complemented by Tea [Not hard drinks which is unhealthy] with friends and family, a real joy.
With exceptions, children enjoy rain. Even in adult there are so many they love to get entrenched in rain.
There was a movie by name Mazhai which aptly demonstrates the joy one can experience in rain and a song sequence featuring Tamanah and Karthi in the movie ‘Paiya’ . It is infectious as well as inspiring that when one plays in rain we cannot resist join the person.
Again the Rain is enjoyable only as long the water does not stagnate beyond a level.
There is variety in rain:
Light rain — when it drizzles
Moderate rain — when it pours lightly and for a brief period of time.
Heavy rain — when it pours heavily after and with lightning and thunder pours incessantly Violent rain: Heavy rain with thunderstorm; result of cyclone
There are times during monsoon when it rains incessantly for days that we would tend to feel. "Will this rain ever stop?” That is because it affects our normal life. The heavy rain results flooding of water and especially in coastal cities where the land mass is at lower level than that of the sea level the water does not drain but stagnates. The impact is enormous because it restricts our movement outside our homes. That is the kind of situations we must prepared for with contingencies.
