Nature's heavy downpour on a busy afternoon: Diary of a construction worker

Our daily lives are spent in the roughness of bricks, sand, cement and concrete. Like every day, this afternoon too, my colleagues and I were busy with work. Just when the sweat and heat of the sun were mixed together, nature's mood suddenly changed. The sky turned black with clouds and without any prior warning, torrential rain began. It was raining so much that it was impossible to explain it. We had to stop working suddenly, because it was not safe to continue construction work in this heavy downpour.

This unexpected break from the busyness of work brought a strange peace. I am now sitting inside a building under construction and watching this beautiful scene outside. The rows of white buildings in front of my eyes are being washed by the rain water and becoming alive. The dusty road that looked rough just a moment ago is now flowing muddy in the rain. The construction materials, piles of bricks and mixer machines kept under the building now stand frozen in the touch of rain. As each drop of rain hits the unfinished stairs and concrete floor, a different rhythm is created.

The vast forest located right next to our workplace seems most amazing. The green forest seems to have taken on a new form in the shower of rain. When the rain sheet spreads over the dense green trees, it seems that nature is washing away all its dirt. This presence of green among these gray brick walls and machinery is a great relief for the eyes. As I was capturing myself and the nature behind in the frame of the lens, it seemed how insignificant the man-made buildings are compared to this pristine beauty of nature.

This break not only gave us rest, but also gave us time to think. The red T-shirt I was wearing today is soaked in the coolness of the rain instead of the sweat of labor. For those of us who build cities ignoring the sun and rain, these rainy moments are very precious. Lost in the sound of rain, I was unknowingly thinking about the complexities of life. Nature sometimes stops us and reminds us that we need to take a break.

Now the work is stopped, only the song of rain is all around. The sweet smell of soil and the cold wind are filling my mind. Instead of sitting idle, I thought of sharing these beautiful moments with you. I don't know how long this rain will last, but this time will be a special memory of my long working life. Even in the midst of our difficult struggle, nature gives us joy in this way. Work may start again after a while, but this feeling of rain will keep my mind fresh all afternoon. Don't forget to tell me how you felt about this cloudy afternoon story from this site under construction. Every moment of life should be enjoyed in this way with the touch of nature.
