A Rainy day In Mayo
How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
How beautiful is the rain!
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hoofs!
How it gusher and struggles out
From the throat of the overflowing spout!
Across the window pane
It pours and pours;
And swift and wide,
With a muddy tide,
Like a river down the gutter roars
The rain, the welcome rain!
Friday, September 01, 2006 was a day of celebration, joy and gaiety. Suddenly in the fourth period our revered headmaster Sir Promod Chaturvedi went to all the classes and announced, "Children, there will be no break today. After the fourth period we are going to a temple named ‘Nareli’. It is a rainy day." The word ‘Rainy Day’ rang in our ears like a melodious tune. Our hearts were filled with joy and excitement.
The drudgery of life was over with an unexpected holiday. What a fine day! Soon we were in the buses, moving towards a Jain temple called ‘Nareli’.
Unfortunately, the temple was closed. It was a grand temple. From the foothill we saw that many miniature temples were constructed in a row on the hill. The hillside was covered with lush green ferns, and, in the trees, unseen birds sang loudly. We boarded our buses and moved towards a new destination- ‘Samraat Ashoka Udyan’. It was a big park with swings, merry-go-rounds and sea- saws. We munched the apples merrily. The cream-rolls too seemed tastier today. We played a lot of games. The blowing of the whistle caused disturbance in a short span of time. It was time to return back to M.C.P. and enjoy the lunch in the Junior School Dining- Hall. With a heavy heart, finally, we bid ‘Adieu’ to Samraat Ashoka Park. The rainy day has passed, but still, we remember lying in the sun, on sweet- smelling grass, and gazing up through a pattern of neem leaves into a blinding blue heaven. How we delighted in the leaves and grass and the smell of things and the touch of things- the touch of grass and air and sky, the touch of the sky’s blueness.
