.... and it rains .... again!!


Finally it’s here! A season that’s awaited the most… Monsoon!!


None except school going kids can explain & express the joy better… especially when the sky is full of grey & black clouds, sudden lightning strikes the chords, roads & lanes get blocked and schools announce a holiday! It’s always a wonderful feeling when one gets an unexpected holiday because of the heavy rains.


Shops start getting full of colourful raincoats, jerkins, umbrellas, rainy shoes & gum-boots…  the thelewalas start preparing extra vada-pavs, kanda-bhajis & cutting chai…  and who can refuse to enjoy those wet moments with the beloved person and friends! Couples in love certainly have a good excuse to share umbrellas, embrace each other & enjoy the romantic moments to cherish.


It pours like anything… it pours like anything,
Wet streets, wet trees, wet houses, wet-wet everything
Wet smell, calming sensation from grass to air,
Don’t care clothes getting dirty, ruffled hair
Here is a season of joy, here is a reason for romance,
Here is a season when I can be Me,
Here is a cause why I feel free
I feel so complete when I’m in the rain,
I feel no sorrow, I feel no pain
The rain is an art that I may not get,
I can just stand still getting wet, just stand still getting wet


Enjoy the season... cheers!
