I have asked this question to myself so many times and each time I get a different answer..
Whatever.. I feel great when it rains..
There are times when me and my fren at office rush to cafetaria to see the rain of the day..We run on petrol and diesel..Yes,but we make time for this ;)
When it rains, I remember my old days..when I had nothing but time..ample of it.
The picture of water drops on red "kumaradhaara" forming small ripples ..Me walking on the bridge,heavy bag of useless books..wind blowing..making my umbrella upside down..thunder- lightning, dark sky..nobody to look at me as everyone busy rushing home..the freedom of the moment..oh..I don't believe its all gone..Should I?
The day it rained heavily was a festival day..coz we used to get an off for school..city kids wouldn't have felt that plea for rain within..these feelings would look different :)
The floods that got water next to my house..the way we used to hurry to protect things..the indoor games we played..the hot papads preserved especially for rainy season...these things were not readymade then..each thing we ate was a fruit of planning and efforts.The rain there never gives a break..We learn living with it..a stubborn rain..a noisy one..
When it rains I feel secure..confident..pampered..crazy..I am investigating the reasons yet..
Amidst the busy life of Bangalore if there can be a rain drop that can take me close to the nature..what more do I ask for?

Nice feeling anyway...Whenever there comes rain it use to develop a sort of ecstatic feeling in us. That too when we are grappling in Metro cities; these are and has to be obvious you know.
ReplyDeleteAnd the smell what we get from the soil when there will be a first rain in the season is awesome. Me and Ajay used to talk about that in our childhood days...
Anyway Thanks for giving a good write up to go back to the memories. :-)
