Rain is always brings cheers on my mind. It turns on romance in my heart. I loves to walk in the rain, if it is heavily. It turns on many thoughts, many feelings. I have loads of good memories of rainy days in past. Recollecting all that, brings me to my younger life. Wishes, I was still there.

In the Judeo-Christian cultural tradition, rain served as tool of God's wrath. Angered by the behavior of his people, God sent forty days and forty nights of rain; the only survivors were the favored family of Noah and the pairs of animals which found refuge on the ark. While in other biblical narratives rain functions as a blessing, this Old Testament story has been very influential in establishing the place of rain and storm imagery in the cultural meaning system. One result of this system of meaning is that rain images like thunder, lightning, wind, and flood tend to symbolize ominous things like anger, danger, and hardship in cultures which descend from the Judeo-Christian tradition.
A variety of modern literatures, the association of rain with danger and calamity has been a consistent theme. We have to view rainfall as a gift from God. Rainfall symbolized the benevolence and generosity of the natural world.
