Monsoon magic!


The rains have arrived!

Overcast skies... the intoxicating smell of rain on earth... raindrops on your face... bunny-hopping through puddles... hot lemon tea... hotter pakodas... watching the lake fill up... wading through muck... squelching over clean floors... scramble for wash n wear... transparency tests... melancholy moods... khichhdi-ilish maach cravings... spurts of foolishness... getting caught in the rain without your umbrella.... getting caught in the rain without your umbrella and with someone cute :)... cupping rain water in your hands and pouring it down unsuspecting people`s backs... chocolate doughnuts with sprinkles on top... warm cocoa and a book to curl up with...
It`s simply magical!

What a lovely narration; for a moment the legion of mosquitoes and the water-logged traffic almost went out of memory[:D][:D]

The monsoons do come sooner in your side of the country - writing about the rains in June!! But it's a wonderful piece - why don't you continue writing??
