So it rained today....

So it rained today ...

April 29 , 2020 . It was around 4 in the afternoon when the clouds came rushing and filled the sky almost blocking the suns rays . In the country that I live in , April is summer . It’s the month where there’s sweat dangling through each of our bodies and it’s the vacationy beach season basically. So when I say it rained it was way out of turn. As the cold water drops touched the heated soil it let out a typical smell that most people love . The scent of the first rain . My mind started racing as this happened. It was not what I was taught in school you know. April is not a monsoon month ,yet there they were , the heavens pouring out on top of me . I kept wondering what else that I was taught could change or be so different in the reality. With the world still amidst the Covid-19 outbreak I’d say that a lot is different than what we were taught . We’d never imagine something that we only saw as a fiction would become so real . In the future history that is today, doctors are going to go down as extremist freedom fighters. There’s going to be tales about menial service providers. When no one could, they were there to be real heroes. All the great countries with large borders and heavy artillery crippled because this time they were attacked by an invisible enemy. No policies no civil rights could maintain discipline this time . The people who topped the Math class couldn’t do anything to reduce the rising numbers. And we’re all surviving on the mercy of science and technology, which was supposed to be advanced enough. Ironically the rest of us turned to art and to literature, the classes we cared about the least . It’s become a therapy we all can afford. I realised our emotional and mental well being is much much more important than it was ever given credit for . We had P.E. classes to make sure we were healthy physically but what about mental health? Why’d we never attend a M.E. or E.E. class ?

There’s a lot of people we hangout with , we have a lot of friends but now when you can’t be around them physically who do you turn to for sanity ? And who actually respond? In this chaos of thoughts one more thing happened today . An extremely fancied and talented actor passed away . While everyone mourned, on a news channel I heard a guy saying that political associates were making comments on his death because of his religion as their respective party’s agenda would let them don’t know if it was true because it was a news story after all . However outrageous this was I also saw the whole industry and all of the fans take a stand and support him. Guess when you’re dead things like your religion and your background don’t really matter . What really matters is how you touched people’s life and what impact you had on them . Your work is what matters because it gets to live on even when your gone . So as all these things happened today I wondered why I believed when they said that we’ll prepare you for life ahead . Because this is life and I’m not prepared. So because it rained today I understood one thing that things weren’t going to be the way I was taught , life as we know wasn’t going to be the same henceforth. The only question was , how would it be then ?
