Let the Monsoons begin

Hi people...
...it rained today; beautiful, lovely rain! All the greenery became greener, the birds looked happier and the hot and dry, parched earth absorbed as much cool water into itself as it possibly could. As I sat on the steps of my mother's kitchen back entrance, I smelled the fresh breeze as it touched my face, making me feel alive... and happy to be alive!

On the ghastly (down) side, however... later on the seven o'clock news I heard that six people died in the brutal arrival on monsoon, and it also left thirteen people badly injured! Ufffffff! Also, roads all over Lahore, including the really really posh localities were badly flooded and were inaccesible to most people. This made me quite depressed.

What am I trying to tell you? Something like: One man's trash is another man's treasure!? Ummm, not exactly... Think.

I wish the government would make our country a cleaner, safer place to live in. I mean if we can't cope with the monsoon rains, how can we begin to talk about nuclear peace and national security? Scary thought, truly.

Wake up, people... the rain didn't make the grass greener on the other side.
