A cloudy day it was… Several eyes looking at the sky and praying and deep within heart, prayers were mumbled. We sighed in relief when it didn’t rain in the morning. However, clouds didn’t pass and dear Sun was nowhere in the picture.
As planned, we started the oorvalam of theru in the evening. A few droplets kissed earth. We prayed more. Pulled the theru with more zeal. Somehow we managed to reach back to the divine abode.

As soon as God was taken into
the temple, it stated pouring like never before. Lightning and thunder followed. All of us were
smiling.
