Rains ...
Typing diligently on my laptop in office ... I could suddenly feel and smell the humidity in the office which was not very common with AC around . My mind rang a bell..and with a streak of gleam in my heart I said to myself "Its raining !!! "
I have become so monotonously tuned to work that I have practically forgotten what day , what week , and what month I am in . ( I do remember the Fiscal year of the company for follow ups so that keeps me grounded ! lol ) Like a robot i know its "june" but I have forgotten how I use to be happy about June cuz its the month rains start ...
Walking on the road , i feel a drop fall on my arm ...which turns into a soft pour of drops of water ...touching your skin like music .The beauty of the light of the lamp post mixing with virgin rain drops when they see the light & beauty with which it falls in the puddle is indescribable !
Rains in the late nights are simply superb ...the sound crystal clear ... the feel of the wet air .Its like the trees are elated with the feel of drops on them that they swing in joy ..celebration
God always has his own ways of telling me that He is around and he is taking good care of me ... only that sometimes I am so busy being unhappy that i am unable to hear His voice ...not His fault ..not his fault at all :)
Sitting down in the basement ...listening to the rain..breathing in the earthy smell os the wet earth ...I realize how beautiful is the rhythm of the rain . I realize that I waste my time so much in cribbing about life that I overlook a lot of beautiful things around me ..Things which I use to like doing before , and in this fast paced life , I no more do it .
When was the last time i actually took time out to observe the "phenomenon" of Rain !!
I have always been running ...running to go to the office BECAUSE it would start raining ..come out of the office to wish its not raining BECAUSE i have to get home to work on a presentation ! Always preoccupied my mind with Running ..... thinking about an argument ..a grudge .. about what did not work in my life ..running away from the feeling of pain !!!
When did I ever think ... to take time out leisure to simple ..walk in the rain ???? to feel every drop on my face .. to smile when I see happy kids splashing water in the mud puddle .. To "shhhh" my mind and look at the leaves receive the rain drops on their skin with due respect .
I am going to take time out ... to let the rain wash all the thoughts in my head .... hum a song ... smile a lot ... get connected to a part of me that I had lost and myself never knew .... and feel happy about getting connected !!
:)
