A Rainy Day . . .

It was raining like cats and dogs, while I started off for office today. I picked up my umbrella and came out. I reached office half an hour late as its normal for buses in Delhi to run late in rainy days. But, its very unusual to rain at this mid-May time of the year. Because monsoon will take nine more days to come to the coast of Kerala, where it comes first in India. And in Delhi, not before July. But for me a change is always welcome.

Besides that there is a different charm in getting wet in the rain; it gives a cool comfort from all the tensions. If at home, then enjoy it with the junk foods and a nice movie. If the movie turns out a boring one, then it is like a blessing-in-disguise. You can sleep peacefully by listening to music. No …not any Brian Adams or Britney Spears or Bollywood, but to the music of rain. It is really sweeter than any one you name.

But, what about a poor chap like me, who has to go to office, otherwise his Boss will turn into a devil-ready-to-gulp-him-down the very next day….?
