Catching a rainbow

A rainbow is nature's most whimsical flourish - an ephemeral arc of colour that feels like the sky's way of smiling. Born from the simple yet sublime interplay of sunlight and raindrops, it's a phenomenon that turns physics into song. As sunlight enters a droplet, it bends, reflects and refracts, splitting into a spectrum that fans out across the sky like a celestial brushstroke.

What makes a rainbow magical isn't just its vivid hues, but its timing. It appears when the world is still wet with rain, when clouds linger, and light is peeking rather than bearing down. Rainbows are also blissful because they're fleeting. You can't touch them, chase them or bottle them. They exist only in the moment, a visual shout- out between water and light. Children point, lovers sigh and phone cameras utterly fail to capture.

In that shimmering arc lies a quiet miracle: nature's ability to enchant us with science. A rainbow is not just a meteorological event, but a mood, a message, a moment of wonder that makes the sky feel like it's winking at us.
