Another Rainy day!

The Heaven above has opened her chest and let down the much awaited monsoon drops. Yesterday was an extremely hot day topped with power shut down for eight hours. Totally baked in oven like hot house I couldn’t help cursing the kind of houses the people here build, I mean come to see for yourself; everywhere you go, you see this box like buildings with limited openings they call house.
Just the other day I had taken my mom out for a walk and I couldn’t help wondering why people here preferred a box life. Had I been some kind of Architect I would definitely have understood the principle behind such houses but being not one it failed my reasoning.

If I ever lived here, I told my mom, I would build a house with windows all around the house. Tall glass windows which I would leave open so that the whole air in the house would circulate and make the house cool in its sultry summer days.Well, picture this..tall window glass, raindrops pelting hard outside, You see the cool drops yet is saved from getting wet(achoo! saves you from the nasty cold that could follow after such wetting!)

But today of all I longed for those tall glass windows. The raindrops pelting with roaring thunder had me watching it meekly from the enclosed small frame of the window. Many a times I dared to go out and once I even ventured out of the gates and looked heavenward with raindrops pelting on my face. I loved the way the drops touched the pores of my skin. It’s simply beautiful the way the raindrops dances on your skin. But I had to scurry back inside when the ear piercing thunder clapped followed by blinding lightning.

Another grand idea sipped in my pores following the raindrops. I made myself a hot cup of coffee and here I am with my laptop,listening to Ishq sufiyana ; the raindrops occasionally lightly touching me. Coffee, rain and a song you live…what better way can you think of to live a beautiful rainy day!
