After the days’ struggle to meet my deadline, I decided to take a walk outside for a while. Leaving my quintessential relationship with my system behind I stood and walked away from the wooden doors, uncontrolled air conditioners, cubicles and deadlines; towards the door. I was just about to step out when I heard the noise of sprinkling water. And here it was … It was raining!!
The smile kept increasing in size with every droplet falling on the ground. I threw away those binding high heels, forgot the decorum of formals and rushed myself towards the sky’s mercy. I could feel every drop on my face. As my clothes dampened I wanted to be drenched even more. The quest kept increasing.
“So enjoying the rain?“ questioned another smiling face that came to stand by the door to beam with the downpour. “Yeah “I said moved out of my open eyed trivial day dreaming. Yes my dear fellas, I could only smile. Giving another broad smile I decided to go back to be tied again with my system , deadline and air conditioner .On my way I remembered when every rain meant playing ”chapak chapak” with friends . Who cared about the classes that needed to be revisited or restaurants that have to go to or clothes that would get spoiled?
May be that’s what’s growing up, I told myself and unlocked the lovely machine. Not yet over from the sense of ennui, I delved into the world of networking. And here they came “ Yeh mausam bada baimaan hai”…” Badalon ke honth khule...kuchh meethe bol chale!!”…. “ Lovely rains “… And I realized it is not only me. So was the status of all as per the writings on my facebook wall.
What is it that weather has to do with our moods and that too so much that it can uplift you in a blink for no rhyme or reason, I wondered. Rains are fun, rains are romantic, rains are relief … and the list goes on. And then I saw the faces of those buddies of mine who according to national news must be wading themselves through dirty waters in the financial capital. But then were they not waiting desperately for the same a month back and is it just gratuitous amount that’s troubling them.
So anything that is too available is not worth it anymore, I resolved remembering the irritation I would have with never ending showers for last two years.” Wouldn’t that be the case with everything?” I pondered. People who are readily available, the food that’s there at hand’s reach, the jobs that we have , “ meeting with Mr. XYZ “ beeped the outlook . …
Digressed again! I cursed myself and decided to just close the thought with the best statement ever - “Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.”
