What do summer showers, or for that matter, the monsoon rains, remind you of? Well, as for me, they appear like the wayward, naughty and adamant youngster in the family. Absolutely follows the dictates of his/her own heart, without ever bothering how his/her behaviour hurts others. The absolute lord of all that he/she surveys!
Yes, rains are crazy like that. Yesterday I went to Hinjewadi, Sanju's place. It seems on May 30, almost for four hours,in two phases, there was lashing rain, lightening that would scare the sky itself, and thunder that was absolutely in sync with the torrid lightening.
Even on May 31, at about 4 p.m. it looked as if there would be a downpour yet again, as if in tandem with the day before. Luckily, for me, such a future plan of the rains turned out to be a 'cry wolf' story. All this while, the Mukund Nagar area was as dry as the bone!
That is how whimsical rains are. Once i was accompanying Aai to Raju's place, for some 'puja'. At the Alka Talkies side of the Lakadi Bridge, there was a downpour, while at the other end of the bridge, some two hundred feet away, there were were not even droplets.
Well, hope this crazy amigo, despite the El Niño, takes pity on us this year, and rains sufficiently on all the areas!
Pratima@ We dare not sing "rain, rain, go away". Instead "rain on the plain" should be equally and sufficiently distributed, that is our prayer, because, yet again, it is that time of the year!!
