WALKING IN THE RAIN

31st May,2006...
First rain of the season...
Ummm....
The smell of wet soil wafted up into my nose and filled my heart with an indescribable joy...
Looking at the sheets of rain pouring down my heart skipped with joy...
And i felt an urge growing deep within me...
An urge to run out and soak in the first rain of the year...
The child in me had awakened again...
All i wanted to do was feel the raindrops on my skin...
Rolling down my cheeks...
Soaking me to the skin...
As the wish to get wet surged within me...
I thought for just a millisecond...
Before i stepped out with arms wide open...
To welcome the rain..
In minutes me and my two friends, who were with me at that moment
were soaked to our our bones(literally)...
It was a special moment...
A moment to capture...
As i connected with nature...
As we walked had in hand...
Enjoying the rain, people rushed by us...
Running for cover...
Trying to avoid getting wet...
Unperturbed we three friends walked through all the puddles...
Relishing a unique moment where nature
and us felt like one...
Wading through knee deep water collected at certain parts
of the road back home...
We laughed and giggled...
Like little kids on their first experience with the monsoons...
And then we were suddenly struck by a crazy idea...
To make this 'Walk in the Rain' more special...
We decided to pay a visit to a nearby pastry outlet...
And savour amazingly rich gooey chocolate cakes to mark the occasion...
So we did...
And as each one of us bit into heavenly chocolate pastries...
A feeling of peace, satisfactiopn and fulfillment filled me from within...
From my head to the tip of my toes...
I had felt such joy after a very long time...
When i reached home at night...
And shrugged out of my soaked clothes...
My mom fussing over me all the while...
Worrying that i might catch a cold...
I didn't care...
I felt good on the inside...
I felt like a little girl again...
I felt happy and content...
It's so funny...
How much joy simple things in life can bring...
A thing as small and simple as...
"WALKING IN THE RAIN"...

    Well i din plan to get wet..
    But it was just by chance..
    I was walking back home after finishing my exam, dejected!!
    had to walk some 100 yards, after hopping off from the bus..
    And that was enough for the rain make me all soaked up...
    Even my U*D*R W**R got drenched ..:)
    But i somehow enjoyed it...
    Made me move down the memory lane, when we used to splash in the river turned roads(Thanks to the Municipal Corporation)..Wonder Years they were...
    The paper boats, the floating shoes, the soaked clothes and finally, running noses:)
    Well i miss them
    Wonder how far the Time Machine Project has reached?

    Well this time me getting wet in the first rain of the season was pre decided...
    I guess that's why i enjoyed it...
    Otherwise getting soaked in dirty filthy germ infested water overflowing from the gutters is not my idea of fun!
    As for our government, why do i have a feeling that they follow the policy of diversity...
    So what if this is India amiss of canals, they can still turn our cities into Venice...Right?
    Voila....
    Magic!!!
