Rainy days!!!!

So...where was i?? yeah.....those rainy day one - liners...and then you have the people trickling in...."My!! what a weather!!!" or "the rain water came up to my knees".......the more dramatic ones like "You know what????i fell into a manhole"......"puray engine mein paani ghus gaya tha"......desperate ones ( i mean...the more committed ones) "no taxis coming this way........the one that did charged me double"...bla bla bla............I know there's nothing new in this blog yet....probably happens every time there's a shower.......and probably would happen in all the years that I'll stay alive for maybe........but the thing that actually made me write about this was because it just occurred to me that I'd probably hadn't heard anyone saying anything nice about the weather today......or the other rainy days, for that matter.....true.....it is a bother to have the rain when you are going out somewhere.....and it is a probably a nuisance to navigate your way through the water logged streets........but then nobody gives a thought to the fact that the temperature outside has actually gone down (thanks to the air conditioned offices!!!)......and if we could just take our eyes off the computer for a while, we'll find it's actually green outside....and yellow....and pink....with all those wild shrubs and flowers that nobody would care to plant consciously( especially those who actually quote GARDENING to be a passion!!).....then there's this other sight which makes me smile....and I guess this happens only in cal.....the sight of people playing football in the rains (esp. the kids and the not - so - old kids)......the rain is actually an invitation for this sport.......and the kids don't give a damn about getting the clothes soiled (daag ache hain!!!).......or getting hurt in the slippery sloshy grounds......or better still....about coming down with that flu or cold...or fever (so much for the worries of most moms!!).......

Anyways.....I guess this blog is losing ts meaning (if it had one in the beginning, that is).....and the same probably applies to me as well......but now and then, these not - so - unusual things, whom we take so much for granted do manage to catch our attention.....even if its for a little while.....and its at times like this that you feel like going to the roof ad gettng wet......or have something hot and piping....and in some cases like mine.........just put it in words!!!!

Hey sweetheart..,so finally I posted a comment. I don�t remember if we have ever talked about are love for rains in all these years but we surely seem to have that in common. The beautifully lush greenery covering the entire city�small puddles you can jump in, splashing water on people (only the non khoonkhar types), taking the stroll early morning or in the night (cooking up errands to run jus so you can get out), riding and feeling the soft drizzle of rain on your face, looking for a rainbow after every shower�these are the purest and priceless fun in life�and of course not forgetting the opportunities rain brings to bring out ones creativity�oh the flooded roads, no buses, oh the dam broke(this is when thr nvr existed one). Blame it on Mr. Varun Dev�.�It wasn�t me�.

Hi…this is that time of my life(nothing new…happens with just about everyone who comes to this earth!) where I move from one world to a another…..time when I’m about to leave the hallowed halls of college and move on to what I was actually here for in the first place….yeah..no prizes for guessing this….work…career… and this is where you experience the difference….and look back on all those nights you’d stayed up studying for exams..and hoped (lesser mortals like me did…yes!!!) that the the exam room will blow up…or the papers would catch fire…or there’ll be an earthquake…..and ..most simply put..the exam will get cancelled! And now you wish you these days weren’t getting over so soon…and maybe you could spend a little more time faffing with friends…and those awesome teachers (only some of them…mind you...I believe there’s a kans mama like sir….or a bindu like ma’am everywhere!) who actually treated you like kids…..a little more time in the canteen…..guffawing about the new “beings” in

Real birthday cards.....where did they go????

Hi!! found this poem in one of the cards.......of old times...just went thrugh the lines...really liked them....and would like to dedicate it to all the people who've been close at some or the other point of time in my life, dont actually remember who it was from...the name's got smudged....but anyhow felt it was too good to be confined to that piece of paper.....so here goes..... How is it that you can tell me things that would make me really angry coming from anyone else........ Whether its that my new haircut looks like its straight out of a horror movie, or that someone I like is a champion jerk in real life When you say them I realise they are not meant to be mean, But things that we both know I should hear And I know I can be just as honest with you Maybe its that we are close enough that we can respect each others opinions, Whether we agree or not It takes a real good friend to recognize things we may not see and point them out in a warm and caring way I'm glad we c
