I told the students in the class, “Your grandchildren will ask you ‘Grandpa/ma, what is this thing called rain?’ and you will attempt to explain, ‘Beta, rain is like the shower in our bath but it pours down from the sky.’ They might still ask, ‘Strange! Can water pour down from the sky?’”

P.S. We thank Fr. Rappai Poothokaren, SJ, for soliciting and coordinating the articles for this Eco-Jivan issue.
