Sheltered

2014-02-23T12:35:00.001-08:00

Rain soak us with happiness, freshness and life. I love to soak in rain in Pakistan which usually fell after an extreme hot weather and rain bring some relief. When rain fall, everyone come out of their houses and enjoy.. its use to be like celebration...
In Canada, its different… when rain fall people go inside .. take shelter… because you get cold :))
