I don't know how this bug of blogging took a bite of me and I keep on scribbling in this space with the useless posts of mine. A real torture for the readers I know :)
But every time I decide not to do any more of this crap, I get a brand new reason to express myself ... I am right now in the Orange City - Nagpur- my home town. Scorching heat, high flaring temperatures will welcome you here in summers, the heat is simply unbearable. But today this city has given me a chance to revive the real 'Me' ... a chance to re-cherish the childhood fetish of enjoying the exquisite aroma of earth getting completely soaked in the first showers. I am wondering if this is the same place I was cursing for being dry - it has been rechristened to nothing less than a Heaven thanks to the first showers !
Like anyone, rains have always enticed me since my kid days. Whether it be the fun of cycling back to home from school without wearing the raincoat mom stuffed into my bag just for not getting drenched in rains or be it the joy of making and sailing paper boats into the rivulets formed in the home premises after some good showers. (I always believed in saving the newspaper or any scrap paper for this purpose ... instead I rightly utilized those test answer papers .... sshhh ... Mom I am sorry :P )
I somehow feel that the joy of the first rains match the aura of the first love ... may be I am wrong because I have never experienced the latter but it's an instinctive feeling. The first rains, lashing out the heat parched earth, to me symbolizes the flushing out of every damn negative aspect from the mind ... opening of an entirely new fresh chapter of life ... First rains every time ... every single time has succeeded to kindle a joyous smile on my face ... pretty same as a small child has when he sees the toy he likes the most ... for the first time.
Someone has rightly said, life is what happens to you when you are busy planning other things. A perfect fit for the feeling today ! As I am writing this, my mom and dad are stepping up the pressure on me to start packing my bags as I would be leaving for Bangalore in 2 days to pursue my MBA, but today I am not in mood to worry about it so much ... Today I just want to get wet, in the first rain!!
