of may showers and unexpected bliss

"Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain."

:)

now i think I'm gonna finally trust the weather people..this woman on ndtv predicted it'll rain..n i was like..ya rite!!
this is Delhi! dude...it doesn't even rain wen its supposed to...
so i left my house at 8:15 in the nite for my customary routine walks..

i have this queer weird fetish for walks..curiously... wen its windy..
and the most peculiar things of all is that i never carry money when i leave the house..so that if god forbid i get stuck somewhere...like wen there's an earthquake or if aliens from mars attack!!
in that case...i make sure that there are all arrangements advisable n possible that i remain there..stuck forever!

today, it was another languid scorching hot summer day in Delhi.
have u ever worn slippers that have a thin sole [ pardon the irregularity of thoughts..i tend to shift focus here n there...my writing style defies all laws of uniformity]
well..so...i wore one of my fave beige flip flops today..
thing is..the sole is almost 2 mm thick..so i practically have no shoes on!
i realised the importance of a thick sole today when i walked on the furnace like hot roads...i felt like the heat was gonna penetrate me n burn up every thin ...
the ground literally exhales heat!!! :(

has anyone seen star wars..[here i go again...switching topics comes as easy to me as music to Beethoven..Milton must be turnin in his grave][using Milton's example cz i admire his exemplary flow of ideas and exceptionally lyrical phrasing]
anyway..so if u would have noticed..when Darth Vader speaks...thers's a sort of grunting whoosh -whoosh sorta noise...as if he's not talking...but exhaling in huge frightful tones..
hope u get the point...
so i felt the ground was emulating Darth Vader today!!
i guess ppl are right..
i do have one heck of a weird imagination!

so after an unfortunate encounter with the blistering red hot ground..i came home n lay in bed..tryin to apologise to my feet for the devastating experience i made them go through..
i was sort of tryin to tell dem:
"i swear i wont wear those ones in summer again! i promise...I'll wear sneakers...!"
for people who think I'm eccentrically bizarre n weird
u might just be right!

as i carried on an apologetic converse with moi feet...it unanticipatedly became windy...i mean it was boiling up a minute ago n it became all nice n windy all of a sudden..maybe nature gods were remorseful too!
but the sky looked clear...
i left home with not even a single coin in my pocket[i changed my slippers..for Christ's sake...I'm not that vicious n brutal]
just took my cell phone..THANKFULLY!
i started off and soon got adrift in thoughts...
i almost came 3 km from home when i it started raining..
"wow!!!" i told myself, "i love walking in the rain!!"
but considering the kind of people there are in Delhi..
u really have to be a complete moron to be walkin in the rain alone at 9 in the night on long deserted roads..
anyone whose lost his will to live would do that!!!
i mean its completely insanely awfully unsafe!!

but that ambiance!!
i mean when u feel the rain drops on ur skin and the water beneath ur feet..u seriously don't care whose doin wat! n which pervert is staring at u goggle eyed and so on..
especially when it strikes u unexpectedly...utter bliss!

another thing i like about Delhi rains is..when it does..its also windy
so as u become wet..the process of evaporation also starts...which in turn makes u feel cool!
cmon guys..we did this in junior school..evaporation causes cooling!
alright i know..u all know this..I'm just try in to act nimble! :D

as i was dwelling in my moments of sheer euphoria..the phone bell rang...my mom howling on the other end askin me to return home...
i tried to calm her down n tried to explain to her that i din have money..n that i would have to walk home!
anyway..my mom started getting panic attacks so i promised her that i would sacrifice the pleasure I'd gain from walking in this rain n come back home in a rickshaw!

but i realised there's something about being surprised...
i mean its even scientifically proven that when a person gets surprised..the body releases hormones which make u feel exhilarated!
and nature surprised me today!
boy, was it great!!

they say..."some of life's best gifts...are the unexpected ones!!"
amen to that.


PS another unexpected startling news...
i read in toi today that schumi is considerin a comeback..( yippeee...yabadabadoo) :P
oh please schumi....come back!! nail dat fuctard Spaniard! Alonso watev!!
