And it Rained!!!!

And it rained last night…. After months of unbearable heat!!! Although we get to know of the rains by the sweet smell of the wet mud, and the lightning, this time, I got the message via sms from a friend, informing me of its arrival….. and the plans of getting wet! So much for timing….. when I was having a pathetic day, and with my exams approaching…. My friend’s getting wet plans were the last thing, I wanted to hear!! (Not that I didn’t get wet….. 4 times to be precise…. At Dharamasthala!...but still)

Rains have always been the single most important event in my life, that occur every year…..apart from the annual Dassera celebrations we hold at our home. Since school times, rains have just meant one thing to me…. That is a new start!!! Rains signify start of a new school year, a new college term, a new seson…… but for me, also a chance to make a new beginning…. And yesterday night, when I was so busy, feeling sick and pondering on where I am headed to in life…. the rains couldn’t have had a more dramatic entry, and with lightning and thunderstorms, probably, in an almost “filmy” way!!!

As I was saying earlier, rains have always taught me something in life….. right from helping me realize the unimportance of cribbing (when I had to walk for half an hour in rains, without an umbrella….) to enjoying every single event that takes place (same incident!!) to how harsh nature could be, and how privileged I was…(26/7….. need I say more???) and I am waiting for my lessons this year….. hopefully, they will help me achieve something, I have been wanting to, recently!!!

And being a Mumbaikar, I sincerely hope, we don’t have to encounter 26/7 again ….ever!!! Also, I wish the Rain Gods bless the country….not curse it!

On another note…. I have exams from tomorrow, and I need to be studying at this precise moment….. so, will leave it at that!!!

Ciao!
