Smile Please

A long hectic day...
They are tired and low...

"Ah! Its been such a tiring day. The weather is so gloomy as well... We need some life...
We need chocolates!"

"Mmm... We are so happy now! In this part of the world, we need 'chocolates' to feel happy."
Everyone's smiling and full of life again!

"We need chocolates to feel happy!"

It was a dull afternoon. She was lost in random thoughts - thinking being one of her favourite time passes. She was a dreamer, blankly staring outside the window.
Suddenly, there was this feeling - a very familiar feeling. Very spontaneously and subconsciously, she walked towards the window and closed her eyes, letting her other senses experience the feeling. The feeling of happiness.

Yes! It had arrived. The monsoon had arrived. She stood at the window taking in the smell of the the earth as the first few drops of rain caressed it. It was a torrential downpour. She stood still, enjoying the fine spray of water on her face, through the window. The coconut trees in the neighbourhood were also celebrating - swaying to the music of the rain.

She went to her balcony and watched the big mango tree which looked hazy due to the heavy downpour. As the intensity of the rain decreased, she watched the streams in her neighbourhood. The streams of fresh water - rain water!
The trees and plants had been washed. With no dust on them, their colour - shades of green - looked so fresh and alive.
The lush urban greenery against the gray sky - what an amazing combination of colours. The gentle sound of water dripping down from the leaves and the squirrels slowly coming out of hiding... Ah! She couldn't help smiling. The feeling of happiness from deep inside brought a glow on her face...

It was so real and alive!
Unlike the west with its picture perfect scenery, her land looked so real and natural. Despite low population densities and pollution levels, the western scenery looked very artificial! There was something missing -
"Life!!!"
