Magic of Rains

The Magic of Rains - While every season has its own charm, there is still something mystical about rains. It evokes memories. Maybe its got something to do with the fluidity of water..

Am yet to come across someone who does not have a memory associated with rains..and most of them would have memories of every stage of their life. 

Today while I was travelling to work in my car  I suddenly realised that how much I miss the auto rides to work. Somehow in the openness of that auto, I had total access to rains. In my car, while I can see the rains..the rains dont touch me. I put my hands out of the window to feel those tiny drops and I can suddenly feel the life coming back to me..I suddenly feel alive..all senses awakened. In that moment, I forget everything that is there or could be there or is not there in my life. The moment is just me feeling those rain drops falling on my palms and the regular tic tac toe dance of the raindrops. And then I look out at the kid walking on the road..jumping on little mud ponds at the side of the road. Suddenly a flood of memories envelope me. How I used to deliberately forget umbrella to get soaked in rains, used to miss school bus so that I could find an excuse to get drenched while catching a public transport..yes I have done the pool splashing too.

A little ahead, there is a young couple getting soaked in rains and just being silly about trying to protect each other from rains, when both of them want to get soaked. And then here I am..going to work and still grinning like a silly girl remembering these memories..strangers smile back and there is a general sense of happiness around...like they say, hey we know what you are thinking about!

If it takes rains to make this world such a beautiful place then Oh God! allow us to stay in the clouds!
