A rain-soaked Baghe Jinnah is a sight to behold. It’s far greener and fresher than it ever looked. It’s also quieter — so much so that you can hear the bush crickets trill and zit from a distance — and certainly more calming than any ASMR videos are to our nerves. Add to it the earthly scents called petrichor, and the tranquil touch of raindrops… and it all has a uniquely pleasant effect. We don’t feel like singing in the rain for nothing, do we?
