Wet

Rains are(were) something i (used to)dread. I do not detest the rain. Actually i have admired the immense force of nature or god as you would like to call it. But for a girl in salwar(Managing the dhupata is no easy task mind you) after her examination with hall ticket,cash,text book and her mobile phone to tend to, drenching in this heavenly blessing is not a good option.

Just imagine dirty water encompassing your feet as if it was your pet cat curling and settling in close proximity to you. Pointlessly holding an umbrella hoping that it will save me and my precious contents from rain.Wading through water surpassing utter disgust for the mucky water.This is not easy task i must warn you.The bad part is that all water form an umbrella collectively falling on you and streaming its way into your clothes. Worst part is yet to come.It is the tediously long journey in the college bus sitting next to similarly dampened amigos. Hair as wet and sticky as that of a puppy out from its tub after its dip in water. Neither could i shift our thoughts from this lingering disgusting feeling nor could i catch up on my sleep. My stomach was growling for food.

At-last after reaching home the first thing i did was a nice hot shower. That shower changed my perspective. Warm mother made food made me feel as if i was in heaven. I took a nice book sat by the window with hot chocolate milk and read my book with a divine ambiance. For the first time i found that without the sound of fans to fill our ears with a hum i could hear even a mosquito. Sparing the mosquito bite it was all great.

The best part was saved for the end. I m no impassionante walker. But that day the walk in military road near chennai airport was very magical. Rains had lead way to new life. Plants were growing every where. I thought that rains had ruined my day. Not at all! Every thing in nature has a beautiful side to it. We must get close to nature to see it. Fall in love with nature especially the rain so get WET!
