Story of ...... (fill in the blank....is it U ???)

A four petalled flower...
opened its arms...
soaring high...
under a new blue sky...

Seasons changed and winds blew by...
plucked petal by petal, leaving the flower dry...
the youngest petal still clinging thr...
waiving its frenz floating in the air...

with the sinking heart and eyes filled wid tears...
"Dont leave my friend", poor petal murmured...

But all were gone and petal stood thr alone...
waiting for budding petals to make new home...

Rain Rain don't go away.....

July has come and the rain season is on...

While many people just hate rains because of the traffic snarls, water logged roads and power outages....Somehow I just love THE Rains...

They give me immense feeling of  joy, peace, purity and tranquility. The aroma it brings when the very first drops of rains touches the feet of mother earth is unmatched. So is the freshness and fragrance of trees who love bathing from top to toe and to express their joy dance rhythmically with the breeze...

And people like me who are gluttony for gram flour dishes like pakoras, chillas, fries have all the more reasons to enjoy their favorite culinary with this perfect weather... Imagine the sound of fries hitting hot oil, steaming tea, the rustle of leaves, and then the ceaseless downpour (and if u r lucky, then hailstorms too)...Somebody rightly said, "Best things in life come for free".... 

For kids it is a boon. They can enjoy free rain dance on their roof top or backyards or garden (believe me it is worth a try if never done...). For the needy, it is one of the biggest source to beat the heat and for harvesting purposes...

Rain come in our lives to cleanse, refresh and rejuvenate us and the flora and fauna around, and leave away the picturesque sky, colorful rainbow and an ecstatic state...

Rain Rain don't go away, come again another day....

"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet."(By Roger Miller )

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. (By Rabindranath Tagore)
