Rain rain come again........

The monsoons are setting in and the weather is getting cooler. Its always a pleasure to receive the first monsoon rains. Its a huge relief from the sweltering summer heat that, in Hyderabad lasts for a good 4 months.

For the last several years I have seen the rains come and go and have always wanted to just go out and get drenched and enjoy nature in its purest form. For some reason I never quite ventured out in the rain once I started working. It was as if I had become too old to do so. However, this time it was not to be. The first rain that we had was a few days back and I was watering the few plants that we have when it started to pour. I looked and looked and then couldn't resist the temptation. I ran down the fleet of stairs; got on the roads and simply looked up to the skies and enjoyed every drop that came down on me. I got completed drenched and loved it thoroughly.

Looking at the way I was enjoying the rains my younger brother, Karan joined me. After a bit, we went under the water fall of sorts coming out of my neighbours' pipe, which was used to remove excess water from the terrace. It was a terrific experience. As if that was not enough, we went for a walk to a nearby ice cream shop and treated ourselves to the delicious Belgian Dark Chocolate ice cream.

I am surely going to repeat this experience a few more times in this season.
