  I think its because of the cohesive forces between the molecules of water and the surface tension of water which makes the drop spherical in shape.

  due to the surface tension the water tries to attain minimum surface area with that volume...so naturally the water falling assumes the spherical shape as the sphere assumes the minimum surface area for a given volume.
  
  am i right...:?:

  Yeah, I also think the same way. Sphere is the most natural shape which is why all planets and stars are in spherical shape.

  I too agree with this.The adhesive and coehesive forces attract the molecules to form a drop.the molecules are closest in sphere hence due to the surface tension a drop assumes a spherical shape.
