Sunshower! Your superstitions unite the world!

 

Sunshower, you always catch us unawares

Surprised, we admire you from indoors

Stunned, we seek shelter when outdoors.

You last only for a little while

If any, you cause very little inconvenience

But you clean our environs

Leave spick and span everything

With your refreshing downpour

And your companion the Sun

Keeps everything glistening.

The lovely Rainbows that you create together

Keeps us longing for you forever

Especially during severe summer

When rain is rare

And summer heat is intolerable

You appear together

To bring us some respite.

You are popular the world over

And unite the countries with superstitions

And mostly the same beliefs

Like ours:

That a Sunshower is a time for weddings

Between animals…

"Yenda Vanalo, kukkala nakkala pelli"

(ఎండా వానలో కుక్కల, నక్కల పెళ్ళి)

Meaning Dogs and Foxes

Are marrying during the Sunshower!

Or it is “Kaki Pelli”

(కాకి పెళ్ళి)

This means Crows are getting married

During the Sunshower!
