Happy Monsoons!!!!!

Boondon ke motiyon mein khulke yeh Ehsaas aya…

Waqt se Nikalke lamha dil ke paas aya…

Chooke nikla tha par dil ko na mehsus hua…

Ab jo dekha toh ye lamha dil ko raas aya..

This song from “Wake up Sid” kind of sums up my equation with the rains! Everything seems new… serene…. Everything seems magical…!

Rains hit Mumbai yesterday… and I am already in love with this weather. Especially after the horrid and scorch summer, rains are, finally, the only relief to this city! To add to this, the sheer beauty that our city exhibits during this time is indescribable and unmatchable. The texture of the sky, the fragrance of wet soil, the chilling air, and the piercing rain drops are all so heavenly! The sight of drenched kids playing football in muddy water, the race of sailing a paper boat….. Totally pleasing!

The monsoon brings the essence of Heaven to Land! Nature looks so impeccable and radiant during the rains, especially during the initial showers! Hill-tops, lakes, sea-sides… every subset of nature looks stunning and alluring. The feeling of getting drenched is something unexplainable. To add to that experience, if you have few friends, some music, hot tasty food and super-hot tea…… B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

(P.S. For people in Love, the aura of this season is even the more romantic!)

Monsoons are something I look forward to every year. Because I love the feeling it brings!! The experience of getting drenched with your close friends…. The time you spend becomes special! Or perhaps, extra-special… only because of the rains! The peace and tranquility I attain walking the by-lanes alone….. A new kind of strength grips me….. Or perhaps it is a feeling of being “ME” that I acquire!

So people… grab your umbrellas and boots and get ready for few months of delight! Re-live the experiences that are special to you about this season….. Catch hold of your friends and go out… Enjoy! Go view the extra-ordinary facet of nature…. But make sure it’s safe (Never on high tides and flood like conditions. Safety first! ). Have some real good time!

And don’t forget to get drenched at the leastEST (note the tone) ONCE!!!!
As Shahrukh Khan exclaimed in some movie (Sorry for being cheesy!)…  “Taani-Partner… inn baarish ke boondon ko apne dil tak pohochne do!”
Let it reach your heart… Let it dissolve everything within!

Concluding, all I can say is…. HAVE A SUPER MONSOON!!!!!!!!
