When it rains!!!!!


And the monsoons are here!!!!!
Marking the end of the scorching summer heat. The rains are here!!
Though winters are my favorite when it comes to seasons but monsoons hold a second place.
The sheer joy of getting drenched in the rains and gorging on chai and pakodas after that is incomparable to any other in the world.
Nostalgia always sets in when it rains thinking of all the good times which are linked to them.
Back in school rainy days were holidays which were always used to have a boat making and sailing, competition. Raincoats, umbrellas,jumping in the puddles,scolding from mom :)
Bikes rides and singing crazy songs were always fun in college days. Getting soaked with the rain drops falling on the face..dripping from head to toe..having chole kulche at the college gate..sipping on hot coffee afterward..
Tom uncle's Maggie used to taste even better during the rains.
The instant excitement when it rains was always followed by dancing in the rain and the nice cozy sleep after a cup of coffee. Sheer bliss!!!
There is something about this season. Everything is clean and pure. Leaves are washed and green. The fragrance of the earth..if only someone can capture it.
I love to hear the thunder..watch the lightning when it lights up the sky..
It just makes me feel good..I love to feel the rain on my face..to taste the rain on my lips.
Rains put a song in my mind mostly the bollywood ones where the dance sequence running around the trees in the rain always puts a smile on my face every time.

Now that the rains are here..I am gonna enjoy every bit of it..reliving the childhood I am gonna get drenched every possible time!!Bring it on!!
