A Rainy Day Ride: My Journey Through the Storm

Waking Up to a Rainy Morning

Well, it was a day when it rained a lot. I woke up early today planning to travel to one of the towns where I had done some work for a client and they needed some finishing done. I woke up early so that I could travel on my bike and reach the client's home.

The town is about a hundred kilometers away from my home and I had to leave early. But when I opened my window and looked outside, I saw that it was raining. It was not raining a little bit but it was raining a lot.

There was a lot of fog, there were a lot of clouds, dark gray clouds above, and it was raining heavily. I waited until 10:30 a.m. and then I started to receive calls from the client's manager. So I decided to take my bike and I decided to go travel.

Gearing Up for the Ride

Before I went there, I took my raincoat, shirt, and pant. It's a good one that my brother got for me. It has complete cover — only my hands, my feet, and a partial face are visible. I covered myself, took my bike, and then I went out.

When I went out, it was still raining. I enjoy rain, I enjoy going out in rain and traveling and riding my bike. It used to be one of my major pastimes but these days I get sick pretty quickly and I end up getting fever or sometimes cold. So I don't do that much often now.

But today I had to go to the client's home. So I took my bike and when I went out, it was raining and it was such a beautiful sight.

The Highway Challenge

I went outside, took my bike, checked my petrol and everything, and I started my bike, and I was on the road. Within a few minutes, I was on the highway, and it was raining so hard. For the first 30-50 minutes, I didn't have any problems.

But eventually, my glasses got foggy, and I couldn't see. So I had to remove my glasses, and then tiny droplets of rain started to hit my eyes. And since I am not used to being without my glasses, and the raindrops were hitting my eyes, I started to feel a little bit uncomfortable. But I tried to focus myself, and somehow, reached and tried to reach one of my favorite spots.

Changing Plans Midway

But then I realized that the rain was not going to stop. And I had to make sure that I am not wasting my time, and I am not going to end up stranded somewhere. Because it was raining heavily, and the roads on the highway were getting bad. So I decided to rush back home.

So I took a u-turn, and reached one of my favorite roadside eatery, where I had some snacks, drank some water, and I took my bike, and started to head towards my nursery.

Reaching My Nursery

When I reached my nursery, I was surprised that within the city limits, there wasn't much rainfall. But the clouds were there, and it was so, so cold. I reached my nursery, opened it, and sat down, waiting for customers.

It wasn't until 6:30 p.m. in the evening that I first got my first customer of the day. Yes, it was all of the day that I didn't have any customers, because it was raining so much, and people don't want to come out during such a season.

Wrapping Up the Day

So, overall, my day was good because I got to ride my bike in heavy rains, wearing my raincoat and rain pants, and it was so awesome, you know, driving my bike all around the town.

And when I reached home this evening, I was tired, I had some dinner, and now I'm ready to go to bed. I don't want to do anything, but before I go to bed, I always have to write my report and stay focused on what I'm going to do tomorrow.

So that's all from my side today. I'll come back with more stories for you guys tomorrow. Until then, see you. Shab-a-Khair.

Reflections on a Rainy Day

Days like these remind me why I love the rain so much, despite all the trouble it brings. The wet roads, the misty air, and the constant sound of raindrops somehow make life feel calmer, even when plans change. Riding through the storm reminded me that sometimes you just have to go with the flow, adapt to the situation, and make the best of it.

It was tiring, yes, but at the same time, it was refreshing. There’s something magical about being out there on the road, with nothing but your thoughts, the smell of wet earth, and the sound of rain all around you. I guess that’s what makes days like this memorable.
