Rain and Me

All it brings me is happiness and lots of smiles.

Everyone around seems so happy, jumping over big and small puddles and some stepping in just for fun. While a few intelligent ones, like me off course, step-in on special purpose (clearing the mud off the shoes...... ;-P )
Everything turns so pure, fresh and clean. Trees green like never before, and my shoes clean like they had been, a long time back... :)

No matter what follows rain……
"the mud, water blocking here and there or the humidity
When it’s raining, it’s simply the best of all.
No matter what follows a happy day……
“the sadness, grieves, worries or just anything”
When it's today, live like there is no tomorrow and make it the best of all.

Rain brings back with it memories and people and beautiful stories. It takes me to those golden days, no matter how rusty days were on the aftermath.
All that I can feel associated with those droplets is A Pleasing Contentment.

It makes me a kid again....
When going to school and returning back in rain was a reason good enough to be drenched. In fact it was a sure shot hit plan.....Never Failed :))

It sends me back to college.......
Its raining........class nai hogi ;) mat jao.....
Its raining......ghumney chalogey
Its raining.......chalo bhiga jaye
Its raining......college pool ban gaya hai......and seems like it will overflow soon
Its raining yar volley ball match start ho gaya hai shayad.....
and not to forget the last one.....
Its raining awesome yar.....cum on ahilya bhawan 3rd floor its hell awesome here....Its raining.......PICS, PICS, PICS........ :)))

Makes me nostalgic about home
When all we kids used to dance around at the terrace, in the storm preceding a heavy rainfall.
When rain meant.....chai, pakorey, halwa.... and well a lot lot lot more......
When it was all about clicking silly snaps in the garden, sometimes pulling and then pushing the other down.
When I had earphones on and in the rain I went out, splashing water here and there.
When walking down a long distance in an umbrella was such fun.....reason... “I am out to buy something hell important” or “Oh I have to meet a friend in need”..... :)

And then Delhi
In a sudden downpour we rushed towards the station, due to lack of time and a long distance train to catch. Adventurous......it was :)

And now I realize what makes me happy….
Its each of these stories that gushes in me.
The fact that I can feel the presence of everything good near makes me feel satisfied.
The fact that I can again get back to that playful child, those college days and the most beautiful place on earth….. “my home” all in one go.
And the fact that I can still feel the presence of each one those who care for me, no matter how far they are, makes me feel that…….
“Pleasing Contentment”

 The Rain clears the rust off me and sends me back to that golden shining era.......for me to re-live it all over again.
No matter how rough days are, each time it rains, it rejuvenates me.
Like that water filtering down the layers of clouds, each of those beautiful stories return back to me in a perfect sequence.
Pure as ever.
Making me smile, making me a happier person, And Always Will.......
