I really love it when it is raining, and I'm talking about a heavy kind of rain. When it's pouring down, you know, and you can hear the raindrops falling on the ground, which is, to me, one of the most soothing sounds out there. It really helps to relieve stress in some sense. And then after the rain, you have this amazing smell of wet earth, which a lot of people love, including me. The rain also helps to blow away the pollution, which in my hometown is a big problem. Tashkent is one of the most polluted cities in the world at this point. So this kind of weather, to me, it's easily one of the most romantic types of weather you can have for just staying in. When it does rain, I just love to stay in and cuddle up in a warm blanket with my favorite book and a nice cup of coffee. It just gives you a slower pace of life in some way. It gives you time to pause your life and then to reflect on your life. I know it sounds too philosophical, but this is really what happens. And then there are also practical reasons for liking the rain. Where I come from, it's usually really hot most of the year, especially in the summer months when it gets really scorching hot. And then the rain, even if it's just drizzling, it really helps to cool down the temperature and makes it just a bit more bearable. That's why I love when it's raining, you know?
