The first droplet of rain

Article Summary by: zhavanita    

Original Author: Jyoti Jha Chaudhary
What happens when the first droplet of rain touches its destiny and what happens when destiny is reached by the earth?
         
From the point of view of the droplet it is uncertain whether it will be soaked by the heated soil or be jumped into a pond, a well, a river, a spring or a sea. If it met the heated surface then as soon as it touches the surface it evaporates. This is so because the heat of the surface is transferred to the droplet. This is scientific reason. But if we consider the heated earth as a needy person who has been praying for and hoping for a lot but gets a drop. Then the droplet becomes a messenger of hope.  The drop, however, is unable to satisfy his need but gives the message of rain i.e. pleasure. The droplet hence plays the role of a sage who destroys himself to please others.
          On the other hand if the droplet meets the water portion of the earth i.e. pond or well or water stream or sea, it creates a ripple on the water surface, becomes a part of it and no more individual identity of the droplet existed.
