A passage through time

There were only clouds, very dark clouds, and a heavy dust storm. Will it rain or not? Not sure, and we move out to the open area, to appreciate some cold weather even if it is dusty.

All the clouds are moving away. Oh... will it not rain today after so much of anticipation?
A set of clouds disappeared fast. They moved west wards. And gathered at a place. There were smaller clouds moving in that direction. My daughter's possible desctiption of them came to my mind, "baby clouds running..."

Then some one commented "Looks like there is a procession, and they are all gathering at a place" This guy is a street activist? :)
Some one else commented. "Smaller companies are being acquired, and the 'West cloud' company is growing".

Then slowly the cloud started getting smaller and getting disintegrated. "Hey, they are spinning off the bigger company into smaller ones".

Ok, there is another cloud east of us, but nothing is happening. No rain. "Is it that with the companies being acuired and sold off, the share holders are not getting any profit, and all the actual profit is being eaten away by the promoters?"

Then it started drizzling. Lot of sound, but less rain.
"Is it lot of 'Pre-IPO buzz'? Too much noise and no substance"

Then it really poured heavily. People who waited to watch the first rain of season are satisfied with the sight
"After all, patience in the market pays off"

Some real discussions today at the terrace of the office, and it really poured for a while. Old habits die hard. Even while appreciating nature...
