Water water everywhere...!!

As much as I tried to avoid writing this article I did end up typing it, only because I knew its the only way I can calm the storm that’s been brewing up there in my brain. Surprised don’t be I always had one.
At the outset let me get one thing straight. I hate rain. I do and as a result I could never understand why people in general like “a good book and some coffee” on a rainy day. It’s beyond my understanding. The smell of rain fails to induce any emotions in me. The grey sky actually ends up depressing me and the traffic snarls get me all hyper and irritated, not to mention the thousand puddles that take your car into a flying gear without even trying.
Why it’s of extreme consequence for me to write this is because my entire life I have been praying for rain. Believe it. It’s ironical and that’s what I realized today. When your father is a commercial agriculturist by profession then rain automatically assumes an unparallel importance to your life. By praying for rain I don’t mean getting two monkeys married or dancing naked to please those gods up there. But just that our prayers in bed used to always contain the rain factor.
Coming back to rain in the Indian context I fail to comprehend how it suddenly acts as an aphrodisiac for most couples. “Wow bike rid in the rain.” “Wow magi and chai date.”
I mean after just a few droplets almost two thirds of my entire facebook entourage can’t stop raving about rain and their plans centered in and around it.
You go to the market and realize that the generators are constantly droning emitting thick smoke and it’s not a pleasant experience to shop by any means. So the book and coffee is gone and so is the shopping.
Eating well that’s an eternal pleasure some rain or shine so even the rains cant interfere in that department.
All I am saying is that I shouldn’t have to think twice about wearing my new shoes or carrying my new bag.
Now that I have rambled on and on about how much I detest rain, I think the Gods up there have taken it personally and stopped all form of rain. Well its time to talk about the heat now which I detest even more than rain.
What the hell! Don’t blame me; blame it on the weather man.
As I continue to pray for more rain please wake me up when September ends!!
