hi,
I like a rainy season very much and to take rain on body is something different feeling. I eagerly wait for rains but the farmers are more eager than me because they totally depend on these rains for growing food. He works in heavy heats with ample salty sweats and waits for heavy rains to fall. One of my friend is a farmer and he completes all his farm works before rainfall and waits for rain. On the first day of rainfall i was at his home and notices his cheerful face on arrival of rain. Have you ever experienced of getting wet in rain? What are your opinions of farmers?

Like you I love rainy season too and too much.Feeling rain drops falling on your body is a divine experience that can only be felt,not described.Your body is burning in the scorching heat of the sun and suddenly the sky gets covered with dark clouds followed by rains soothing you body and making you feel alive again is really a joy that makes you dance.I often go out in the rains falling heavily without taking an umbrella or covering my body with a rain coat.Rainy season is the season that gives life to the burning earth and dying plants,animals and human beings.

Hi there.
Like you, I also have experienced bathing in heavy rainfall when I was younger, along with my siblings and cousins. Our parents approved of it, because it was also believed then that rain can cure the prickly heat, which is a skin ailment usually brought about by hot weather.
As soon as we notice the dark clouds (nimbus) forming in the sky, we would rush outside the house and get our little pails and scooper. We would then place them under roofs (ours or neighbor's) so that it wouldn't be a waste if the rain suddenly stops. When they're full, we would bath directly from the rain falling under the roof. That was really fun & exciting, but that was decades ago.
Today, we don't get to do this anymore. Naturally, we're all old enough for such stuff. And more importantly, bathing in the rain is already considered a health hazard; with all the virus, bacteria & pollution muddled in the environment. It's just a shame that this simple blessing of God is never enjoyed by the little ones at present.
About farmers, I am quite familiar with them since my grandfather, who is now in his 80's, was & still is a farmer. Rain is very essential to them. It is a big factor for the plantation; either of crops or vegetables. Their duty is quite difficult because they have to wait for rains to come. And when it does, they have to rush outside and head to the fields to plant crops; instead of snuggling cozily & comfortably with their families in their homes. It's a risk that they would get sick, in spite of the fact that their harvest will also be a risk.
But anyway, if they don't do this, the world will die of starvation.
