I m in the rain....

...but i m not wet.

It’s evening & its drizzling outside. The best thing about the hostels at iiit-b is that its well placed in tranquil and natural habitat. I went and stood in the balcony like my usual habit on a rainy evening. Everything started rolling back from childhood.

The time when we made those paper boats and then the competition with the sibs whose boat goes the farthest. That running around all over; up and down to witness the first rain; to feel the sweet smell of the soil getting damped by the rain droplets & arousing the senses. To go out & feel the rain showers falling on us, that generates a sense of pleasure & delight to enthrall.

Sitting in the porch, sipping a cup of tea and joining papa to express the desire to mom how nice this evening would be if we have some ‘pakoras’ with the tea. Mom as nice as always used go to the kitchen, to fulfill our little demands. We used to run behind her to see what she is planning to make & to help if she requires so that she can also come out quickly & enjoy the weather with us.

The praying early in the morning rains, that it shud rain so hard that it’s declared rainy day in school, which to my hard luck happened only once in school. :-(
It all appears like a dream today.

With Raincoat’s song “Shaam dhale sakhiyan sab laut gayin saari.….akele hum nadiya kinare” at the back, the view in from the window is nice but somewhere the emotions have crept deep inside. I am missing everything. The list that defines everything is long.

The raindrops are falling on the ground and getting mixed with the running water. I don’t know how to describe this probably it shows that how the unique identity of a person who's similar to a raindrop mixes with the society and gets mingled in it; society which is exactly like the free flowing water.

Current Song : “Hai kitne Baras beete sajna, tum ghar nahi aaye re….”
Album: Raincoat (more on it in some other post)

I feel like song is telling me that u haven’t been home for long.
