This is not the most appropriate time to write a post.........I am sitting at this beautiful place in my office where there is a window and i can see the road right outside my office....I have been a part of this place for a long time and took a transfer to Delhi and now have been back here for almost three months. Today is my second last day and i go back to delhi tomorrow. Mumbai rain have arrived and today it is one of those typical rainy days in this city where the rain has been falling intermittently through the day.
This is one weather which always draws a lot of conflicting emotions out of me. At one end where I love rains and i find this weather extremely romantic and can usually never resisit going out in rain to sea side to sit at a coffee shop and watch the rain fall I also find it daunting to stay in this city with this rain because of the unending traffic jams it brings with it and the dirt all over the roads.
I could not wait to go back to Delhi till a couple of days back but then this rains seems to hold me back. I love it and will miss it despite all its ills.........I will miss this seat by the window where I have sat and watched this pair of 10 year old kids play in their school dress as they waited for their mother to pick them up after school all soaked. My room in the hostel and the terrace where I have stood in the rain on many occasions. Rain and Mumbai has a special association in my mind...I still fail to understand how it can rain so much in a place without stopping.
Some how as we lose the wonder in life as we grow this is place where the wonder for rain still remains in my heart and i always look forward to it. Early in the morning today as i saw it falling outsie my window i looked forward to going to office and I hopedthat while returning it will rain again and I will be able to catch a few drops on myself.
I love you rain ................come with me to Delhi where I can watch you from my window there
