Outcome of escapism from rain

Finally the non stop rain has come to an halt for the past two days which is a slight relief for the common man. Either it must be tired or may be it wanted to give a break to the public. The impact it left on a common man's life is unimaginable.

But the weather news still forecast heavy rainfall for another few days despite the sun shining brightly. As the sun is shining brightly people in my neighborhood are busy washing and drying their daily wears, washing pulses and drying in hot sun, cutting grasses which are knee length. Here we have to be careful as poisonous creatures crawl around these glasses.

Due to heavy non stop rain sone of them lost their dear ones and some lost their homes and belongings. They took refuge in the nearby schools and colleges, under the instruction of the government officials. So these institutions remain closed while other educational institutions are working.

Though many severe incidents took place, few were repeatedly telecast in the media live. One such incident was a car which lost control as the road was flooded with water and fell into a nearby lake. The people in the car was a male driver, a female doctor, her mother and her three month old daughter. As it was late evening and in order to reach their destination, they took the help of google map for the easiest way and diverted from the Main road which resulted the car falling into the lake.

They were really lucky as the car did not drown as the windows remained closed. But on hearing the scream the inhabitants staying nearby with the help of a rope pulled the car to the bank of the lake and rescued them. They were lucky by Almighty's grace. It is always safe to take roads in our visibility, especially the Main roads, instead if short cuts during bad wconditions.

Next were the two employees of small scale industries. They left the office around 7.00p.m.and due to heavy rain and flooded roads they started walking over the railway track which was on their visibility. On hearing the horn of the train from afar, both of them stepped down from the track to give way for the fast coming express train. But the intensity of the moving wind from the heading express train was too rash that it blew both of them away. Though both of them gave way to the express they just fell into the near water spot filled with stones. One of them died on the spot while the other was rescued by the spectators. When the weather is bad never opt for easy ways, at the risk of your life. Your life is dear to someone.

As the rain unlashed consequently for eight days most of the roads were damaged resulting in big pits and deep holes . Just imagine those being covered with running water is how dangerous for an unknown traveler. Accidentally one can fall into this pit. The same happened to an office staff when he is traveling in his two wheeler. He was not aware of the unmanned hole on the road.

Closing Thoughts

These are few incidents only that I mentioned here. There are many more. Please consider this as an awareness artice. During such heavy rain, never go for some new lanes unless you are familiar with it. Always take the Main road. And try to move out from your workspace as soon as possible rather than working till late hours.
