I am the rain. The beautiful silver threaded drops that fall, beautifying the Earth, from the heavenly sky up above.

• state what you do:

I rise from rivers, seas and oceans and then return to the Earth by falling from the sky above as enormous droplets of water. The roaring of the clouds and the thunderstorms declare my arrival and when I depart I leave a rainbow as a reminiscent remembrance.

• explain why people like/dislike you:

I share a love and hate relation with the mankind. Some like me; others dislike me, depending on their situation probably. As the ones going for an important work would not like me pouring over them; while others would love to relax and watch me or even get all drenched by me.

• mention any other characteristic about yourself:

Though I visit throughout the year, but I visit maximum during the rainy season. I cover the whole sky by my ride (clouds) and keep the Earth cool and pleasant.
