Opening the Giant Tap


The skies grow dark and laden with dense and grey clouds ,the first few drops that fall from the heavenly abode , slowly slowly the pitter - patter of the rain drops becomes louder , its almost like someone forgot to close a giant tap in heaven. I love the rain , living in Dubai I have not been fortunate to see much of it but I know if rains were more frequent here I'd grow tired of it. Winter generally arrives in the months of November or December and makes a very depressing departure in the months of March or some times even April if we're lucky. Call me a pessimist if you may but I love dark and cold mornings because it gives me hope of rains but usually the sun comes out bright by 9 am and pops my bubble. In the month of January we had a few rains , well I can't call it rain it was more of a drizzle , and after that the tap was closed for quite a while so I sent a plea to God ,via my facebook status , for Him to open the giant tap above Dubai.

RAIN, RAIN PLZZ RAIN!!!I SICK OF COLD MORNINGS THT GETS MY HOPES HIGH UP AND THEN SUNNYY AFTERNOONS!! SERIOUSLY!!! RRRRAAAIIINNN!!

Well He did open the tap and I was pretty happy!Our most recent rain was in March , during my exams , it was a very heavy rain, many roads in Dubai were flooded. The bus parking area in my school, which is just sand and mud, began to resemble a paddy field. Regardless of all that I still enjoyed it which is good because I have a feeling the tap over Dubai isn't going to be opened till December 2010 but I'll be patient. I am going to put my sweaters and boots away and bring out my hat and a pair of sunglasses cause we expect the arrival of summer soon.
