Nature reacts : enraged rain creates havoc

Few days back the weather was pleasing and responding to all our needs. Though it rained then and there, no panics and no destruction. Life was normal with routine chores moving smoothly.

Nature is always serene with its beautiful flowers, blue sky, fresh clean water, huge mountains with snow falls, the sea and it calmness, the tall trees which has provided shelters to many. To say the list is endless. This is the calm side or you can call it the beauty of nature.

But if you see the flip side it frightens us by showing its dreadful anger in the form of rumbles, lashes, roars and sometimes ferocious too, eradicating the serenity of the place. Yes, Iam talking about rain.

Torrential rain has disrupted the routine life of many. Non-stop rains and cold winds has locked several of us at our homes. Our state has 14 ditricts and rain seemed to lash its anger in all these districts evenly by destroying houses, killing peoples, also creating heavy loss and damage to land and property. .the never ending saga goes on.

It's nearly a month since the rain started. Though in the beginning days of the months, the rain showered for just few hours, now its continuous torrential rain. The climate is too cold even during the day time, limiting our routine jobs within the four walls of our home.

Most of the dams are opened due to overflow of water resulting in water in residential areas. The farmers here are the most affected. Their main livelihood being restricted to farming. To add to their grave, the crops and plantations are perished due to heavy downpour of rain. Today, more dams are taking its turns to be opened.

Moreover the peoples are forced to evacuate from their homes. People who are staying in these places for years are reluctant to move on, but are helpless and are forced to abide by the law. The law enforced the security forces to continue with this action. Appreciate the initiative taken by the security forces to be with the public at their service. Here, in most of the houses their livelihood is on livestocks, which they grow at their place. The security force have taken all initiatives to move them to safe place.

In mountainous regions, the land slides seemed to be taking turns. Possibilities of more landslides are expected. Red alert has been declared in almost all districts. In few places the collector has placed order for people to stay within and not travel out.

Educational institutions are closed down from day before yesterday. Children are busy having their fun. As all are closed in their homes no communication amongst the neighborhood also.

Actually when I travel back to my school and college days, I remember how me and my friends would eagerly wait for the rain to come. Here comes a holiday or two. Great time indeed. But nowadays the rain is non stop followed by lightning and thunder and uncontrollable wind. Now, its really scary when the news pops up "Tommorow holiday declared due to torrential rains".

When nature is calm and pleasing nobody bothers and respect to know the indepth of the beauty nature, instead keep destroying manually. But when it turns violent, people run from pillar to post for help. Only when nature reacts will the strength of Almighty be remembered.
