Everyone has some or the other thing in their life which takes them back to some old golden days...With that particular thing, one cant resist getting lost in what we call 'memories'. For me that thing is 'Rains'.. :) :)
I remember,
I came from school exhausted and as usual went to terrace to relax..and in some time a flow of a wind carrying an heavenly smell of soil energized me in a moment. I looked at the wide sky above and suddenly saw the black heavy skies full of water approaching nearer..I yelled and ran to my Mom with all the excitement.
I remember,
It was a cloudy day and we(a group of 8-10 friends) were having full 'masti'(fun) in the most sacred place of our college campus, "the workshop parking". And suddenly(almost madly) we thought of going for a small trek nearby to our city. We started on our bikes and just before reaching the destination, it started raining cats and dogs. But we didn't stop, and kept driving without caring to what we must be looking like, how it will affect us etc.. We didn't go till the mountain, we went to one of the restaurants and ate lotssss of kanda bhajiya(a must eat in rains) making that restaurant chairs full of mud, water.. :P
I remember,
I had an doctor appointment. I had been there with one of friends. Post all check-up, we were going to back to home and... yes, it started raining although a little. Luckily we had to stop for red signal. I asked my friend to take something out of her bag to cover her head(as I had my helmet). She opened her bag and within same moment,heavy rain started and signal also turned green. Next moment, I could not see anything in front with my helmet cover, her comb fell down while taking out dupatta and a rickshaw came from behind covering her comb. I wanted to remove my helmet, she wanted to take her comb but Rikshaw wanted to pass the signal.. and ........so......... we had to move. :( :) :P
I remember,
It was December. I was in office. At around 6:30 pm, an announcement was made giving some information as the area where I used to live, has got some problems and hence one living in or near that area should leave the office as early as possible. I immediately started by taking a rickshaw. And again.. from nowhere, suddenly it started raining badly..As promised the rickshawala stopped at a place where I had thought I would get down. And stupid me, actually got down at that place without noticing that it was raining heavily, I was not equipped with umbrella and hence should take rickshaw till the house. Anyways since I had left my rickshaw I had to walk for 15 mins till the house. After waiting for 5-10 mins on stop, I finally started. I covered a distance of 5 mins and unexpectedly my sandal broke into 2 pieces..#$(*&* Unbelievable!! Disgusting!! What then...I took both my sandals, put them into bag and ran towards home... alone, bare foot, immersing fully into rains, for another 10 minutes... :P :P
I remember the window of our home from where I used to see the trees getting fully wet with rain. I remember, my friends teasing me on my birthday every year that they could not wear beautiful new dresses as my birthday falls in rainy season. I remember the outings we friends had in rainy times. I remember my father and I calculating "how heavy is the rain" by analyzing how much(little, half, full) wet the biggg trunk of the tree in front of our balcony has become with rain. I recall so many things, places, people, incidents..
Really................
Only rain has this capability to open all the closed doors of past in my mind...
