Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dream of Dreams really do come true After all the rain songs enlisted in the thread, forms a rainbow, a bravura event, to mark the epoch of the cloudburst. A thousand posts of drizzle and splosh and spritz lovingly stockpiled for a memorable season. A concerted team is only as good as its conducting leader. You bolted this thread into a musical force! Oh, somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dare to Why oh, why can't I? This rain thread has officially busted that inhibition and soared somewhere over the rainbow.
Mega achievement with mega score in such a short span! 2. Hip hip hurray to leader of the thread. 3. The beauty of this thread establishes that music has no barrier or boundary and not parochial and stands an imperturbable unifying force. 4. A ready reckoner and can be encapsulated to ground below or injected into into MARS & VENUS for the aliens and or future progenies to discover and enjoy for ever. When after rains on one side and sun shines on the other side We see colours We remember vibgyor We recall clouds we see even double rainbows All because ... God created total internal reflection and dispersion.
Dear Novalis, A very big THANKS to you for being such a strong support through this journey. You were the second person to begin contributing to this thread and that too with an unmatched enthusiasm. You went ahead and nominated this thread too! Thank you once again buddy; interacting with you is nothing less than watching a Masala Blockbuster movie on the first day, first show!
Dear Thyagarajan Sir, It is an awesome feeling to have touched 1000 posts mark and it has been a wonderful learning experience too... Learning newer words for rain; maLe, vaana, varsaat , varsha, baarish... to boraxun, learning different sensitivities, learning to distinguish between the good, bad and ugly!!!! You said it right, music has no boundaries. Thank you so much for the cheer you spread and the God-lines; I have become an admirer of these meaningful lines.
We ALL in IL admire all thoughts that provoke benign feelings a d enjoy patting others wonderful spectacular performances. We may have special places for almost all writers irrespective of their status in IL as bronze silcer gold platinum or hall of fame. The hindu religious endiwnment department/board of TAMILNADU government yesterday had come out with order to all temple authorities under its fold to commence poojas and yagas and homams to please RAIN GOD to a heavy rainfall . An atheist party at helm believe chanting of ancient texts poems in Tamil and sanskrit in a huge concourse at temples would consider special grants for this purpose. We have huge texts poems by Nayanmars that depicts miracle rains produced upon chanting those anthologies. I have a notion or feeling, a collection of these rain songs in this thread played in (temples of ) tamilnadu for next 48 days might turn the rain bearing clouds from elsewhere to our state and cause a cloud burst. The defict reported 72% in city and in interir TN water tankers filling water into village wells. God in seasons would instruct His deputies to cause downpours from heaven.
