It was a good day yesterday. After two dry months, the rain
gods finally showered us with their blessings and brought a ray of hope in the
gloomy hearts of thousands of farmers and crores of people worried about an
impending drought.
On one side, there were happy sighs from my family and a lot
of my friends. And on the other, were the smart alecs on Facebook posting
disgruntled comments about how just a day of rains spoiled their clothes and
caused them so much pain.
Its painful to see city folks being so ignorant, so
blissfully unaware of what’s happening to their countrymen outside the comfort
of their air conditioned homes and offices. We take the water flowing from our
taps, the foodgrain and vegetables in the shops and market for granted, little
knowing that it has taken a lot of pain and effort in producing them and the
sons of the soil who feed us, go through hell just making ends meet and lead a
meaningful life.
I pray for 2 things today, firstly for more rains and a good
monsoon and secondly for my friends in the city to become more sensitive and
aware about our country and our fellow countrymen.
