Lesson 5: The Rain

Part :A


They were standing near an open space, where the nature was lavishly painted in green. It was not a rainy season. It was supposed to be a sunny day . But it was about to rain. She looked like an angel in that night.

She: It is getting cloudy
It was like this for a long time
Why the rain has not started yet?

He: Hmm, yes, it is real damn cloudy.
Sounds like words has lost its charm
Looks like world has lost its beauty.

She: Can it be darker than this?

He: Moonlight has lost the glow,
There is only wind. But not breeze.
Is there something called black light?
Or something like a white hole instead of black hole?
Can we just get vaporized in to thin air?

She: Why? Don’t you want people look at you?

He: I feel like naked when the people look at me.
I don’t want to be seen at all

She: Hey, wait a minute.
Have you ever tried to stare at blue sky?

He: Hmm, a lot.
If you care enough you can see colorless bubbles coming down to earth. Thousands of bubbles. The funny thing is that neither it will burst nor you can touch it.

She: Interesting! What must be that?

He: Who knows? But I used to see them.
Everybody sees everything. And knows everything.
But pretend as if they don’t know anything. And try to hide all from all.

She: Enough man!

He: Never mind, it is raining now. Let us walk in rain.

It was raining, but not sharp enough to hurt their skin. They walked in the rain in full moon light. They felt the wet leaves, with finger tip and touched the water drops.
Smelt the flowers as if they see it for the first time. Some flowers blossom only at night. They must be expecting someone who comes only in night, to give them Moksha..

There were weeds around; Many with thorns. It made bleeding scratches in his feet. He did not bother to look it. The night became saturated with black. There was a light beam on the far end .She led him to that light.
He just followed her like a kid.
He was charmed.
Then they reached a point where the way ends.
She stopped walking and looked at his face.
He wondered how beautiful she was in the moonlight.

She came near him and kissed his palm.
Then she kissed his forehead.
Then she kissed his eyes.
Then she kissed his lips.

He felt as if the time frozen around them.
The rain has stopped after long time.
His knees became weaker and weaker.
At last he fell on the wet grass.

She just walked away with his soul.
She was an angel, an angel of death.

He got up by that time, looked at the watch, drank some water, closed the window near his bed, switched off the fan and started sleeping again.
It was raining heavily outside.



Part: B


Years back, when John was little John he loved to play with water.
He used to spend time in catching fishes in nearby streams with an old towel. The fish with a fluorescent dot on forehead was plenty. He used to collect white stones from those streams. He had one small stone which is most special. If you look at it from one particular side you can see a layer of multiple colors. Just like the colors in the rainbow.

Another favorite item was collecting non usable bulbs. He was good in removing the filament from it without breaking the outer glass. Once it is ready he will fill it with water and use it as a lens, so that he can lit cotton or paper pieces. After that he would take his hero pen and drip a drop of blue ink in to the bulb. The design created when the blue drop mixed with water before it touches the inner side of the glass wall was one of his favorite.

How to Do?

Keep a green leaf on top of a white paper . Dip an old toothbrush in to the bottle and spray the ink to the white paper using the forefinger. This will result in a beautiful design on the paper.

If you don’t like it, you can dip a small cotton string in to the ink bottle.
Take it and carefully put in between any old notebook pages.
Press the notebook lightly after closing it. Pull out the string in the same time. Here the result will be a design which often looks like a wild flower.

And it is easy to make a picture of Sun in a notebook page. All you have to do is drip a drop of water in to the page, which is filled by blue ink writings. And wait to get it dried. When it is half dried, the small circle will have a wavy surface outlined with thin blue lines.
When it is completely dried, the small circle will have a rough feel.
