During rainy season, walking along the streets in Kathmandu can be a horrible experience.
.... sorry... it was a mistake I made in my comment earlier :D
You hardly can escape from the pools of water that overflow from drains on the road in the days that have heavy downpours.
You hardly can escape form the pools of dirty water on the road as a result of overflowing drains due to heavy showers. .... I think this is much better :) Another error of mine :D
It was a normal school day. As I was walking to my school, it started raining. Poorly maintained drainage system burst out and the surface was filled with drain water. I stood on a higher ground, waiting for the rain to stop. But there was no sign of that happening any time soon. It was getting late for my school and I didn't want to miss any of my classes. So, I took off my shoes and dipped my leg in the dirty and contagious drain water and slowly went to school.
This fails to reader's curiosity :( There's no sensattion in this piece of writing. A normal day, a normal class and everything still stands very normal and ordinary which is not giving the reader understand the importance of having water management. If it is something like you were late for the exam due to this issue, then it carries a better weight. Hope you got what I mean. This incident should come with a punch to the reader.
