Silver Drops from Heaven...

“Bachpan ke who ameeri ke din, Jab pani mein apne bhi jahaaz taira karte the”

Bachpan, the phase of life with total carefree attitude, can never be forgotten, especially those drenched in the drops of rain.

Though every season has its own memories to cherish but rainy season is always the most memorable time.

When we were kids, rain used to bring a new excitement in life. Getting wet in the first rain of the season, dancing with no music, at times with parents’ permission – sometimes without, it was much more pleasurable than taking a bath in your private Jacuzzi.

Floating the self-made paper boat and getting it into a race, cheering aloud for each other, without caring for winning or losing.

Enjoying a sudden school holiday on the name of “Rainy Day,” especially when you were ready to leave for school. The happiness enjoyed during this one day holiday is far better than any overseas vacation.

Not only in childhood, rains have made a special corner of memories during our adolescence as well. We would still remember the first romantic rain date with our sweet heart. Completely drenched clothes, water dripping from hair and the sheer naughtiness in eyes, no other looks can be more seducing than this. Eating from only one roasted corn, holding hands & adoring the togetherness and wishing that this moment should never come to an end.

Despite knowing deep in the heart the fear to face the family, who would ask why didn’t you used the umbrella which you were carrying, going all out and enjoying this moment as if it is the last rain of the season. Preparing the answers to the questions which parents may put up and showing a cute smile on our face after lot of attempts to hide it.

Even now, we eagerly wait for this momentous season, when the smell of the wet soil rejuvenates us better than some session in a spa.

Our all-time favourite “Besan ke Pakore with Adrakki Chai” at home can easily replace our fine-dine restaurants any time.

A long drive to nowhere with spouse or family, with ghazals or romantic music, is going to stay in our memories for ever, thanks to this exceptional shower.

Even at work, we always try to wind up early and leave for home to enjoy and relive our good old memories.

Earlier or now, rain has always made our lovely moments memorable.

I know few of us might not like this season, but since most of us really do, let me end this with few lines by Langston Hughes:

“Let the rain kiss you,
Let the rain beat your head with silver liquid drops,
Let the rain sing you a lullaby”

If you love the music of rain or have some lifetime memories with it or simply love this season, do share it with us.
