It is that time of the year. June. The first week of June rather. It is supposed to occasionally drizzle, catch you off guard without your umbrella but nothing more and nothing less!!
BUT, now does that ever happen?
Ofcourse not!
The day you decide you want to wear your pretty white skirt, team it up with your favorite leather or grass chappals, voila; not only does it rain, it pours!! The winds howl like mad, there is an awesome dust storm before it all and then the sky just opens up and pours unto the end of thy patience! Always does. You get bored waiting, the mall doesn't have much to do, the ice cream in your hand is melting and you want to get home as quickly as you can!! However, since home is only five minutes away, you bargain with yourself saying that it is a waste to catch a rickshaw and you negotiate with yourself until you see the family pack dripping all the amazing ice cream into your bag.
So, hurriedly you run towards the rickshaw stand, getting wet in the rain and trying to convince the stubborn asses to drive you down to your place! But they staunchly refuse, laughing at your plight! One would have thought you were asking for a free lift! It is not like you refuse to pay!!!
So, by this time, you are soaking, because it never rains, it always pours! The ice cream is almost gone and so is your interest to wait for the rains to subside! You are dripping wet and the air conditioner in the mall isn't going to help your cause! You decide to battle the howling winds and you decide to battle the rains too!! You walk, you progressively get wetter, some ass drives by near you trying to catch a glimpse of your legs (skirt rem'r?!) and ends up splashing water from a puddle all over you!!
Aaarrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
By this time, you have given up on yourself, everyone else had given up ages back; but then again, do you get the last laugh??
NO!!
Of course not!
Then, who does..???
Mother Nature as always!!
It stops raining, the skies clear out, the sun shines and you can see a rainbow!!
DIE RAIN DIE!!
We need you, but we don't like you! Not now, not ever! :(
I miss summer.

really.. rains came all of a sudden here this time.. and see how it rained yday in new bombay.. was pouring the whole day, intermittently, but managed to get me drenched. Really, it should rain only at night.. Mumbai really is a mess when it rains :( I miss summer too.. but nothing like winter :D
I guess it's an age thing ....We used to love the rains when we were small ....wonder if ur thoughts would hv been the same 15 years ago ......Rains were more or less the same back then ...were'nt they...??:)

@ Shruti
I like the idea of rain at night!! Sounds good as long as I am not drenched the moment I step outside my house to buy bread!! :D
@ Anurag
The age thing is always there! I used to love getting drenched in the first shower but I guess I have become rain phobic after the entire 26/7 thingy! Maybe that why I Don't really like them rains!! :|
