I have always loved the rain. The sound.The feel of rain drops on your head.The damp rainy smell that it leaves behind. The rain was always good.
Rain falls when it wishes and leaves just as fast or stays and causes havoc in the streets of Dehiwala, as this morning while i was walking to work. I felt like i was crossing streams and rivers. I was wlking on Hill street this morning and it was bloody chaos.
The umbrella i was carrying served no purpose as the water that fell on the ground flowed like a bloody stream!!!And to make things worse residents have opened their rain drains to fall onto the pavements!!!Are there no laws that say you cant open your drains to fall onto the pavements where pedestrians are expected to walk? Whats worse,i had to choose whether i wanted to get splashed on like im under a waterfall by walking on the pavement or to dredge across the rapidly flowing stream by the edge of the road and get my feet, shoes and the bottom of my pants totally soaked.
Frustrated, wet and annoyed i finally walkonto Galle road to cross to the bus stand and there…A river. A river on Galle road! Twas formed by rainwater that has washed away god-know-what from god-knows-where!!!I had to cross it there was no way out.
Its a bad way to start a bloody Monday morning!!I dont think i like the rain anymore!!
