Things I like to do when it’s pouring

This is for you ‘T’…

I am not a big rain-person. I am more of a Delhi winter-person. But now that I think of it I have many memories and certain desires relating to this wet wet wet season.

First memories…I love the look on trees after a shower. Refreshed, dancing and swaying with the breeze. I love listening to music… I don’t need rain to make me do that… but I love the romance of it all. I like singing to myself when no one’s listening. That’s when I am able to do it actually. I love a cup of tea on the balcony. Another thing I don’t need rain for. I love a rick-ride when its drizzling…I quite like just being relaxed and gathering the sights and sounds. Oh ya another memory when I was about 15 or 16 every time it rained boys from my colony used to play football. That abandon, that fun and that exuberance I have only witnessed, never really felt. But it felt nice to have witnessed it. And something tells me that without the cats & dogs downpour the sport isn’t complete in some sense.

Now the desires… actually desire (the singular) I want to get soaking wet under a spell. Ya I’ve never done that. Quite simple. Nothing big. Told you I am not a rain-person!!!
