So, it rained, on Eid ul Adha's first day, today! Beautiful weather, and the enchanting sound of raindrops falling, took me to a divine level of happiness. Aah, I love rain, and all the beauty that comes with it.
At about 8 Pm, i went upstairs on my rooftop, and to my surprise, it was a cloudy sky and the clouds did some amazing photography while having the Flash mode on!. I was taking a walk when suddenly our home's and the nearby homes' electricity went out. Gosh, I ran like crazy on the stairs, because I knew my fear wouldn't be as much as of my Maa and dad. As soon as I reached their room, light came back, and they were as relieved to see my face in the light as if I had come home after 2 years. Love you, Maa and dad, your sudden care really makes my day!
I am not one of those people who 'dance' in the rain. I like to just close my eyes, stand in that beautiful moment still enough to feel every raindrop on my face. The feeling just sends chills down my spine. Love it. But today, I wanted to try something different. My sister loves this song called,"Rain Over Me" by Marc Anthony and Pitbull (The name pitbull is just crazy). But anyhow, I love this song too, only when I am in a mood to dance, or when I am doing the dishes. In my latter situation I adore this song because it makes doing dishes a lot more fun than my imagination. I sometimes like to pretend that my dishes are singing this song. Call me crazy, but believe me, doing dishes for someone like me is like watching a duck saying "quack quack" for constantly one year; Yes, you guessed it right, boring is the word I have been trying to find.
So, I put my headphones on the maximum volume, Marc Anthony singing "rain over me", and me on my rooftop jumping in that one moment which can be defined as,"Exceptionally amazing".
I was jumping like a little kid who got a new toy. The maroon-red sky, slightly cool breeze, raindrops going absolutely crazy with me, the chemistry between me and the weather was fantastic. I was dancing like there is no tomorrow. Wait, this was used for some actor I have forgotten the name of. Oh, yes, Ranbir Kapoor's grandpa or something, Aah, Who cares.
So, the point of the whole story is, Lose yourself in the beauty of Nature when you think you're going too far with the anxiety, the fears, the depression. Unlike they show in Hollywood movies, people go to pubs and clubs to dance and drink to 'lose themselves' because that's not losing yourself, that's basically losing your morals and human in you and a run-away from problems. My suggestion, go crazy for the nature. Clouds, sky, stars, mountains, greenery, raindrops, occasional rainbows, cool breezes, snow-fall... We have so much around us to feel, why would we need to go around looking for silly outdoor entertainments with our stupid excuses like "I had a breakup, lets go to a club to find me a new guy"... Come on! We got better, or say, much much better things around us we ignore on a daily basis because we're too busy being indoor and sad.
I am myself an indoor person, I confess, but nature and I have a very special connection. Being an aspiring photographer, I love taking photographs of Sunrise and Sunset. The scenery, the message and the atmosphere makes me feel completely alive! Nature, ALLAH's creation, is breath-taking. If only you open your eyes and let your soul set itself free in it because it inspires us in a way which humans and things may never be able to.
It gives us the messages, the hidden answers in such a special style that we don't need to listen to 'em by our ears.. but hear them, feel them in our hearts. Open your hearts to nature, to true things.. that are actually 'beautiful' and Divine Blessings!
Forget the worries, let the grief go! Fears are no good, for better lets hope! Live the beauty, enjoy the Divine Love.. Go crazy and let nature be your 'true love'.. Have a Fantastic Day and Eid Mubarak!
