Q&A

Question: Today's a rainy day. Would you like to...
(a) Grab some chai, breathe slow & smile as the steam from the cup warms your cold nose-tip?
(b) Think up rain-description lines that haven't already become damp sqids?
(c) Mentally list all rain songs from 'November rain' to 'Rain ise falling chama cham cham'?
(d) Wear pullovers, gloves and monkey-caps and fake some shivering & shuddering pretending you're in kashmir?
(e) Call home to spin a yarn that you'll be late because you're stuck in the rain, when all you want is to long detain that obscure sojourn.
(f) Take off your shoes and stare at the shrivelled up, pale and impeccably clean toes and remember the bygone days of liesurely taken baths (when there was time to do the Liril song in the shower/waterfall every morning)?
(g) Not worry about the washed clothes getting wet outside?
(h) Catch dad to make tiny paper boats that must most definitely not sink?
(i) Play lagori with your neighbours and make sure you jumped into puddles just to be rugged and dirty when you went back home?
(j) Pray like crazy that the power goes off just so you could hear the "yaaaaaaaaayy"emanate from every house in your lane?
(k) Tease a rich kid for having an emergency light when you had candles that are definitely more fun?
Answer: All of the above. Pretty pleeeeeez....

It's raining here today too, a rarety in the heart of the Arizonan desert! Big relief from the soaring 43 degrees temperature of yesterday.

I want to:
- get drenched with a pretty girl on commercial street and eat hot masala puri on the roadside.

- Take my old Splendor and ride in the rain all around Vidhan soudha.

- Clear up the water that gets stuck on the parapet walls of our home - I love seeing the water flow out when I clean the pipe :)

- Sit reading a nice novel, sipping hot coffee, watching the rain fall.

But alas, its all a dream now. I have a thesis to write..:(
- Harish
