Long awaited day

Today at last it happened, the day for which I waited so long. Yup a day at home with a heavy shower from Rain god.

There are about 60-70% of the weekends when ill stay at Chandigarh, and this year since the starting of monsoon all weekend which I witnessed where Sunny and damn hot. And same it started today also I got up @ 9 am and saw outside sun was out with no signs of clouds. Again in disappointment I got busy with my laptop. Slowly clouds started to gather up and it little pitter patter of rain drops started. I felt little relieved but it wasn’t which I was waiting for so long.

I always love to go out and get drenched in rain. In my childhood there were very few occasions when I played in rain rest of the time my mom was too much conscious for me getting cold so always made sure that I won’t go out in it. May be that restriction have created more urge and love in me towards it. Last year though there was ample amount of rain, it used to almost daily in evening and I became my activity to come from office soon and go out on bike in rain almost every time I did it. Our house owner used ask me always what are u doing you can get sick but I never believed in that theory. :)

Around 10:30 I was having chat with my house mate suddenly I saw rain started to pour in full flow. Within a second I jumped and ran outside in our balcony, it was exactly what I wanted a holiday and rain. While enjoying the rain and view around my eyes landed on my bike, poor she, clouds are only source of refreshment to her. Thanks to my laziness she will never get bath apart from rain and today she was shining as new one :). Then I saw some of the street kids they were running on the road singing “Aaja Aaja dil nichode ….” Latest buzzing song from movie kaminey. Enjoying rain to the fullest and there were little younger ones who were drooling in every puddle of water, and whenever any car was passing by they deliberately coming near to it as it will splash water on them. Totally unhygienic idea but they were enjoying it to the fullest.

Then also there was cycle race of all chintoo kids gathered together :) nice to watch was they were so much chintoo that they have to try real hard for their cycle to make through the water flowing on the road and they were all giving their best and just then came another gang at first I didn’t get it what they are up to they were looking suspiciously at every tree around. Soon I realized that they were after fruits which will be there on the trees. Whatever they spotted they plucked started sharing and eating among themselves.

It was nice to see witnessing these happening around. But only kids below 15-16 were involved, no one elder than that.

Even I was simply standing in balcony and seeing things around. Wish ill get someone soon with whom I can play in rain   . With this nice and soothing thought lemme close this post .
