How do you feel when it rains after a long time?
When it rains after a long time, there is a feeling of immense relief and joy.
The earthy smell of wet soil (petrichor) fills the air, the temperature drops pleasantly, and there is a sense of renewal.
The parched land comes alive, and there is happiness all around as people, animals, and plants receive the much-needed water.
