Of course, the rain drowned all hope.<\/p>\n<p>Like a curse it was! I did not believe in luck and fate and all that, but this was too ironic indeed. Today was supposed to be a Saturday. The easiest day to go out. The holiday season was on. Nature, however, was all against it.<\/p>\n<p>In an awesome act-of-God, God meddlesomely knew that I had a college project to finish.
