Magical Monsoon 

Monsoon...the word itself brings loads of joy and feeling of freshness…feeling of love and togetherness…

I opened my eyes to the sound of raindrops and I realized the long awaited monsoon is finally here with the chilling breeze…thundering sky and yeah definitely with a thought of bunking office!!! But I realized it’s a Monday morning and against my wish, I had to leave my bed…but somehow there was a feeling of freshness deep inside me…

I went to my terrace and let myself mingle with tiny raindrops… the whole world suddenly looked so beautiful to me… the diamond drops falling from the green leaves… the soothing smell of the wet soil…wondering if I could just stop the time…get a glass of red wine and lock my lips with the love of my life…make love and let it just rain and rain…but suddenly a drop that dripped down my body tickled me and I realized..OOPS office time J

I started walking with my music on as usually…but today everything seemed so different…so fresh and so pure…a couple struggling to come inside one small umbrella and indeed getting wet…carefree kids jumping in at the puddle of water and dirtying their school uniform…people running around here and there to find a shelter…youngsters hooting and riding on bikes…one disgusted and helpless lady shouting at a car for splashing water on her…some unknown but happy faces in front of a small tea stall…rubbing their hands and sipping hot Cutting chai with chatpata pakodas…yeah world is really beautiful when it rains!!!

I reached office without even realizing and saw a huge difference…there was no sign of Monday blues in anyone’s face…it seemed this monsoon has just wiped away everyone’s pain and agony…J

I lit a cigarette and took a sip of Shankar produced (Shankar is our office boy who makes horrible tea) tea… today the tea tasted really amazing…may be monsoon effect J… took my hands out of the window to touch the raindrops…may be I wanted to catch them and feel the symphony…I closed my eyes!!! I saw myself at a sea shore…it was raining and I am walking slowly holding his hand…rain drops dripping down from my hair…the sea water touching our feet time and again…some music playing in my heart…and I realized YES I AM IN LOVE AGAIN…

Knock Knock…Ma’am aapko bula rahe hain…and I’m back in reality…but in my mind even now gunja sa hain koyi iktara…J
