Rain drops are falling on my head...

Rain drops are falling on my head...

This is an old song (youtube link). I’ve always wanted to sing this song and dance around in the rain.

Time never gave me an opportunity to do so... as you will get wet in the rain in the most unwanted times...like while I’m riding in the bike a.k.a. Scooty (as my dad first and my hubby now object to my Scooty being called as 'the bike') or going for a wedding reception!


This was also starting to look like one of the fateful days when we were returning from a wedding reception... but we just escaped by getting into the car when it started to pour cats and dogs with plenty of thunder and lightening! I was in a situation with mixed feelings as I didn’t want the rain to go on as i would spoil my lovely off white kanjeevaram saree, if i get wet. At the same time the mischievous kid inside wanted to dance in the rain.

And it happened as my beloved drove me as close to my doorstep he got out in the rain opened the door brought the umbrella for me and took me in without spoiling my silk saree. By the time he backed the car and parked in the shed, I changed into my salwar and went out with barefoot happily playing and singing only the first line of the song (as I know only that much in the song!). Mission accomplished and there stood my beloved who now looked like the angry hulk ready to charge. Yelled at me saying "Is this why i took so much care to not get you wet?" never answered him anything... silence is the best way to cope situations like these...

Some pictures from that day...



I don't know if he understood me... but still I enjoyed the rain as I always do!

Praise God! He sends out the rain on the good and evil alike. Perfect Gentleman.

what a lovely post my dear?!! aww, in bloody england, even the rain is a stranger. It gets everyone down and upset. But Indian rain is really something else. The post looks like a very romantic scene form a film. Beautiful!!

Women's Day, Everyday! Anybody game?

Why do we celebrate womens day? Honestly I don't know. Why the flowers, chocolate and gifts and all the fuss. Now, people don't get me wrong, I did not intend to start on such a cynical note, but i guess it sets the tone for the post. Logically it doesn't seem to fit. In the western world, people dont live with immediate families after they are 18 or even younger. So only time they get together is for christmas or thanksgiving or if somebody is terminally ill! I could be wrong, but thats my understanding. So these are days like father's day mother's day or valentine's day (yes even couples live apart, they re called travelling couple!!! husband lives in one city and wife lives in another, even if they have no children, why i specifically say that is bcos here our mothers stay in one city for the children's education sake) are celebrated so that they get another chance to be together and foster their relationship. Then again this is largely promoted for bus...

Is our relationship with people or things?

The other day I was going to office by bus since it was crowded I had to give my lunch bag to a lady who was sitting and when the bus arrived to the university stop, I got down and scurried to office as I was late. Half way through, due to intense walking I felt thirsty and BANG came the reality on my face, I had left my bag with the lady in the bus! Thanks to my reflexes, I turned around and spotted an auto rickshaw and jumped in and was telling the auto driver to follow the bus. The panicked driver (who was on his mobile talking to someone) fumbled and said he does not know the bus route, and I was more than intimidating now and said: just follow my direction was my reply, no order! I was following a bus, which had left the bus stop five minutes ago…. And the auto was zooming at great speed, (while frantic thoughts were racing in my mind… im going to be further late to office….my new lunch box and bag and water bottle was gone …. Will I be able to catch the bus…even if so, will the b...
