Rain rain go away

Monsoon is here and along with it come so many memories. Firstly, of me standing at the bus stop, waiting for the school bus. I hated waiting here cause it would rain, and my feet would get wet and dirty all the time. And there would be some tiny green worm dangling on a tree above my head, and I would notice it only when it reached low enough to bend and kiss my me.

As if this wasnt scary enough, when we reached school, the two lunch halls would seem like devil's garden. Carcasses of earth worms would be strewn all around the lunch halls. Lunch time would be a time when all would fight to sit at the centre of the hall else you would have to sit on water and have earthworms for lunch. How I hated the rains then.

But as I grew older in school, the number of earthworms seemed to be decreasing. Rains seemed to do away with whatever was old and bring in the new - with new hope, a new year, new books, and new shoes. Everything in the past academic year would remain forgotten.
