"The rain to the wind said, 'You push, and I'll pelt.' They so smote the garden bed, that the flowers actually knelt, And lay lodged - though not dead. I know how the flowers felt."
~ Robert Frost
The rain brings a richness to each hue, the browns and greens deepen in a way that soothes my heart, brings a steadiness to my soul.
I really like rainy days. Reasons include the smell of rain falling on dry earth. It soothes me. Everything appears bright and clear after the rain. I love falling asleep to the sound of rain! Paper boats and laughter are the sweet memories of anyone's childhood! Barefoot walk on a green lawn in the rain. Those walks in the rain and so many endless memories. And obviously the rainbow.
Close your eyes, escape from the real world! Rewind a little.
Feel the raindrops caressing your face.
Feel the cool breeze refresh your spirits.
Witness nature at its best with the first rains of the monsoons.
Recreate your monsoon memories with smiles, with dreamy eyes... Rain tells us many stories: here is one beautiful story ---
The rainy day comes with a confident wind, rousing the trees into a vortex of dance! See the swaying creepers with happiness. The rainy day comes as an invitation to a soft feel, to relax, and to let the ever steady moment expand into dreamy, poetic wanderings!!
Outside was an unexpected gift of rain, she wants to talk to raindrops, with a quiver in her heart!

Love can manifest itself in many ways, and actions such as holding an umbrella for both yourself and your lover in the rain can certainly be a sign of care and affection, showing the bonding beyond love. Something special, an iconic visual!
The most famed and memorable rain song would have to go to the legendary Raj Kapoor and Nargis's 'Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua' from the movie-Shree420. Possibly the most intriguing and touching sequence in this song would be when Nargis sings 'Main na rahoongi, tum na rahoge. Phir bhi rahegi nishaniyan'. The camera turns away to show three schoolchildren merrily walking down the street, they are, in fact, Kapoor's own children. A stunning rain lashed sequence coupled with a legendary pair. What could be more perfect than this? This rain song sets the milestone, which many filmmakers have tried to copy, but none have paralleled this song quite like the man himself, Mr. Raj Kapoor.
