Rain drops keep falling on my head

I do love the Forest Gump song -

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

Rains - they bring a lot to the mind...

Rains, bring to mind soothing respite from scorching heat.

Rains bring to mind a cup of some hot drink, and a snuggle inside a blanket, if that is what seems comfortable.

Rains bring to mind, times spent indoors with friends, chatting all the way, nothing else to do. Teasing each other, having fun, laughing....

Rains bring to mind nice times, quality times spent alone. Times where you feel like listening to music, and feeling one with that, The whole world is immersed in that music.

Rains bring to mind, splashing waters around, umbrellas not enough to protect, and finally doing away with the umbrellas, and playing around in the rain!

Rains bring to mind, some mad antics in the hostel! More so the first rains after summer.. :-) Some laughter, some fun...

Rains bring to mind, days spent with family at home, no one able to go for work due to heavy rains. A day of vacation - one unexpected, making it all the more precious.

Rains bring to mind, nights with the continuous sound of pouring. Everything else silent, velvety dark. Trying to study before an exam, but distracted by the continuous outpour.

Rains bring a lot to mind, most are happy memories. But somehow rains also make me feel melancholy. A wish to go back, a wish to retrieve some memories, a wish to talk to some close friends. Or might be, not even talk, just cherish the silence of the friends.

But then, without rains, you wouldn't get the raindrops sparkling on the leaves in the sun, nor would you get the magnificent rainbow! So I still would wish for rains, because though its sad at times, it helps cherish old memories, things which you dont remember in the mundane course of life... :)

What does rain bring to your mind?
