Romantic RAIN -My thougths

The Monsoon is sure to visit us in 15 days. As for now , it is the pre monsoon ... and that itself is pretty strong.

As a child , I was totally enraptured by the rain. Of course , an umbrella was a must , but walking in the rain had a special charm . My friends and I used to play with paper boats. We used to stand in our garage and pretend that we were locked away in a cave. We used to try all possible means to get out ..... getting wet meant being sent back to the cave. So , we used to find narrow paths sheltered from the rain through which we could escape.

As a teenager , the mood that came upon me during the rains was totally awesome. I became silent , and even the wild flowers seemed beautiful to me.

We once went to a zoo while it was raining. That was probably my favourite outing , though the after effects were a drag !

There is something so romantic about the rain . It makes you want to cuddle up with a packet of potato chips , a romantic song . It makes you want to watch the plants and flowers enjoying the showers. And it fills you with a love and warmth for the entire world.

I feel it now ... Just spent 20 minutes looking out of the window. It has suddenly made me tolerant. I just changed the song I was listening to now : Kuch toh hua(KAL HO NA HO) to the old classic - Chura Liya Hai Tumne (from the movie : Yaadon Ki Baraat). More than anything , I want to walk in the drizzle...MISS u in this RAIN ANJAAN
