Its Raining! :D

Mumbai (or for that matter any city) in June-July is a paradise. When beautiful raindrops fall from nowhere, and drop everywhere around me, i can't help thinking "Come on, they can't be God's tears". This is one season when even God asks us to 'take it easy', go out, dance in the rains. There's a reason why God fitted this season between the scorching summers and ruthless winters. Its his way of fitting fun and happiness between sadness and melancholy.


So what is it about the rains? It's not just the picturesque rocky shores or the dewdrops on the leaves, or that sweet fragrance that refuses to part its way. Its also how you feel. The feeling of droplets on your face, and body. The feeling of looking outside the window, a cup of coffee in your hand, at the most scenic and pure sight. The feeling when you love everything around you, even about your enemies :) The feeling when you go off to sleep listening to the falling droplets outside, or waking up to it.

The legend, Charlie Chaplin, is quoted to have said "I Love Walking In The Rain, So That Nobody Can See Me Crying". That's what rains are all about. Pour out all your sorrows. Dont hold back the tears. Remember what rains were like when you were a little kid, oblivious to what people would say or think. Be yourself and relive those moments. Try making the most of the season of love and happiness.

  3. Yes guys. This place is heaven in the rains. If you're here, do visit some nearby places like Matheran or Igatpuri. That'll be like an icing on the cake :D
