I just love rains. That is the time to let loose ourselves. Last week we had rains on one day. It was absolutely fascinating to watch the water falling in torrents..and I did my ritual on that day.
It has always been my habit, to get skin wet in first rains..ever since i have been a kid. I enjoy the rains, with the smells it bring of the baked earth...wafting through the air, and memories flood our mind. Those childhood memories when we had carefree days...and the adolescence which is full of untapped energy just waiting to break out...It is always there.
I just went on the terrace and stood in the open, as the rains poured...with thunders and lightnings sizzling down on mother earth. Earlier it used to be a little difficult as the other homes didnt had second floors..but now, as they all became high rise buildings...I feel sheltered in the urban jungle.
I am thankful for the little patch of greenery in front, which we call park..for its existence.
I was happy that the rains have come and the summer will abate. But it was just a flash in the pan, we are into the fire now. With temperatures soaring around 43 C We hide behind air conditioned curtains...and await the rains.
Hope they come early..and make our lives bearable....

There is nothing more beautiful than the beginning of a rainy season.Watching the little streams fill up with water and the trees and plants washed clean and swaying with the raindrops and the feeling that nature has once again blessed us..;it comes every year no doubt but it's different each year and as eagerly awaited.
There is a freshness in rainwater which cant be imbibed by any other source. When i am outside, and if drizzling starts, even as everyone run for shelter..I just enjoy the downpour..unless, am going on an urgent errand which requires etiquette.. :-)
