Bikes, rickshaws, cycles, and other transport are running on the muddy road very carefully. People are also walking on the road very safely. Sometimes the drizzling turn into heavy rain.

They spend their time gossiping. On a rainy day, students do not go to their school. They enjoy the day playing football in the rain. They wet in the rain. They don't listen to their parents forbid. The officials also do not go to their offices. They spend their time with their family. On this day most of the family cook hotchpotch with meat. They eat the food with pleasure. Sometimes they play cards with their family members. In playing cards sometimes they take tea, biscuits, and other snacks. Some people smoke freely on this day. 

Rain gives us pleasure. When the rain falls our feelings grow. Our mind becomes full of enjoyment. When the raindrops touch our body then we dance with joy. Human beings and other animals feel fresh. They thank the creator for the falling rain. The rainfall decreases the heat of the sun on earth. The plants get new life. They become fresh and cheerful.

Rain is important to us. In our agriculture rain plays an important role. The farmers of our country depend on rain for their cultivation. In the season of planting paddy, they will wait for rain like a beggar. They pray to the creator for rain. When the rain starts to fall they begin to plant paddy with a laughing face. Then there is no time to them for gossiping, playing, and even smoking. They do only work and work. They work arm to arm with each other for producing more rice. 

When the rain falls day after day, the fields, ditches, rivers, and canals fill up with water. Then the plant of the paddy goes under water. It is very harmful to the farmers. 

Heavy rainfall causes floods. Flood is one of the most dangerous natural disasters in our country. When a flood occurs most of the area of our country is flooded. About 90% of people in the country suffer from floods. They have to go away from their living home for saving their lives. Their domestic animals such as cows, goats, buffalo, horses, hens, and ducks die due to floods.

 Rainfalls have merit and demerit. We like it very much. Though flood is created by rainfall then we love rain and rain.
