Rains!!!!

If you would ask me which the season i love the most in a year, undoubtedly i would say its the rainy season. Nothing can beat ,curling up on the bed with an interesting read when the rain is pelting down. Back at home, my room was surrounded by huge rain trees. The sound of rain falling on the leaves and then pitter pattering down was such music to my ears. I never minded venturing out in the rain either. To feel the rain falling all around you, blanketing you with its wet cold arm was a joy.

Times have changed. Mind you, rainy season is my favorite time of the year, closely followed by the madras winter. Madras has sucked most of the joy out of rains, owing to water logging the roads. We have a filthy pond close by home. People, cows and dogs does all thier business in it and also manages to dump their trash in there. And in the current incessant rain, said pond has over flowed into the road and i cant even think without retching what kind of water is flowing around. Thank God i don't need to cross it by foot on my way to office :(
Schools and colleges are closed due to the rains, but we poor corporate slaves need to work or need to take a leave out of the meager earned leaves we accumulate over the year. So here i am at ofice, braving the rain and the water logged roads (with its innumerable, unthinkable solvents ) . Soaked to my bones.. And wondering why the rains couldnt come on a saturday sunday, when i could make some mean bajji and sip piping hot tea, oblivious with the water logging the roads.
Still, i love the rains, with the song they sing
