Black clouds growling at each other .Wind speeding across valleys and fields. Roofs rattling .Just when the villagers thought that they are about to witness cyclone , there was an acute silence . Eyes stared towards the sky ,prayers whispered through the cracked lips. "Tuphh" . Few eyes blinked .Before the villagers could blink again ,the sky broke and it started raining heavily.
