Vignette - A Heavy Downpour at First Day of School

Early in the morning when the sun has not risen, cars and buses are already jamming up on the road, in a single lane, heading towards one direction. The queue of the vehicles on the road are like packed sardines as all the cars are tailgating and keeping a very tiny gap with the car in front. The feeling is very tense and intense as though the drivers have zero toleration with other road users. The blinding spotlights flashed from the vehicles are a mixture of white-ish and yellowish. They are too glaring to the eyes that pedestrians would not like it. Due to the unusual heavy jam, the bus drivers have to disembark the school children at the junction. Suddenly, it rains heavily. The school children have to run through the lanes of cars to find a shelter or a roof. Motorists are rushing through their ways recklessly. They ignore the pedestrians that are crossing the roads, and in certain circumstances they almost hit the jaywalkers who are running across the street. Phew! That is dangerous.  But luckily none of it turns into a tragedy. Everyone just cannot wait to reach the destination. The school bell rings. Due to the rain, many cars are still queuing to disembark their children under the school roof. The guards are guiding the traffic so that the condition is under control. It is the first day of school after a long break but the weather is like discouraging the kids to go to school.
