A Petrichor's Dream

 It all starts with the heralding of the foxy grey clouds followed by a strong gale. 

  Nature admirers have their eyesight fixated on the sky as they wait in anticipation of the watery rubies to fall on the heated earth. Some even track the time as a memorabilia or to document it with a hope of turning it into print. 
    Then comes the strong whiff of petrichor with a gleaming yet invisible smile a thought of joy races in the admirers mind. 
    The watery rubies fall like swords clashing against each other in the battlefield. 
  The surrounding outside can transpose one's mind to that of either Hogwarts or the moors of Baskerville Hall. 
  A balmy breeze blows outside as the electrifying aero show enthralls an interested lot of audience. 
     But there is one small cozy cone which finds solace in Rabindra Sangeet and timeless old classics. 
   The sound of the croaking frogs, quarrelling dogs gives a different feel to this turbulent night. 
    Gnawing hunger pangs don't seem to worry when one has the forces of nature to feast on. 
   But there are some who are staying past way their bed time either watching a cartoon or web series. Or maybe just losing track of time as the happy droplets cool their palms. 
   There is beauty and poise but all one needs is a fine tooth comb to bring it out into the limelight. The beauty and grandeur of petrichor remains unsung and that is A Petrichor's Dream.
