Rains have a special place in my life.. I can recall different emotions at different times in my life when it rained:
Cozy warm feeling : As a child I used to get cold very easily and whenever it rained I would get sick and would lay on my bed watching the rains outside in my comfy quilt with the amazing warm tea that mom used to make for me
Crazy footballer feeling: The day before the class 12th boards results were declared, I along with other society friends played crazy football in society ground(more of a mud pool) and when we came back home we were so drenched by mud, my mom almost disowned me :)
Feeling of true love: Graduation days.. My first date in the lanes of North Campus. I knew the rains weren't a coincident. It was love! an amazing feeling....
Craving for pakodas feeling: This is common in all rains but I remember devouring amazing pyaaz ke pakode with my family at our outing to Bharmore in Himachal and it rained and snowed..
Kullar waali chai feeling: During my office days at Hewitt, I used to instigate the urge to go down from the 6th floor and drink the roadside kullar waali chai..and when it rained the whole work floor could be seen at the kullar waali chai stall..
Shuttle 28 gang bhasad feeling: This one is really special.. I along with my gang called Shuttle28 playing badminton while there is standing water in badminton court and its continuously raining and the whole society watching us go crazy playing badminton..
Despair and frustration feeling: When starting the first paathshala of our NGO in rohini slum areas..we had to quit the place because the place where we went to teach got filled with water and the drainage assured that the water stayed there for one month..
Go out and get wet feeling: This is one feeling that stays every time it rains.. whether be with friends or even sitting alone in my room like I was half an hour ago..
One feeling that I get whenever it rains is to just go out and get wet :) :)
I am just waiting for the next rains to happen!

ReplyDeleteI wish I could do something like this to! For me rains have always been most welcomed, especially while on treks and picnics. We just get unhooked from the world then. I miss having them around.
