Read Time: About 1 Minute

Standing in a doorway,
watching the clouds break
and waiting for the downpour.

I watched the people run
from train to tram,
from tram to bus,
panicking
for the risk of getting wet.

I smiled
as they rushed, laughed, shrieked and jumped onto platforms,
checking themselves
to see how wet they got.

It's only rain.
And it was brief.
Five minutes, at a stretch.

But I watched,
and the rain came down harder,
until it was done.

And then, it was done.

"Educational, Inspirational And Very Funny"

I've had the privilege of following Burtman.net, over the years, with all the exciting things it's been adding. I enjoy the stories while sipping endless cups of tea, as I've learned from Burtman. I love diving into his ridiculous scenarios and getting infected by his road trip religion. Everything's accessible and relatable (even technical stuff) and shows how making mistakes leads to learning. I'm inspired by that. I'm always left with a big smile on my face and I always want to return. - Natku
