The south west monsoon is here, and this time it is much awaited. After the smoldering heat that nearly killed us all, here comes the showers of blessings! Or at least it was a blessing till the clouds thought it was too cool, started showing off and thus becoming a big issue for those at Uttarkhand. (As you read this, please pray for those whose lives have been brutally destroyed thanks to these showers)
The monsoons this year have really come by force, we had a week off at school thanks to the damage it caused all around. Almost everyday we sit in front of the news as though it is some extremely interesting show with a really good suspense and everyone is looking forward into knowing who actually stole the ring. But nope, it's just the same old NDTV, and we look at the really fast moving news that they show at the bottom hoping to see Cochin in the group of jurisdictions which have a day off. That was how it is for us, we make bets and gamble on the next day, we predict the rain forecast and pretend like we are real meteorologists. At the end, I think we all shall make really good weather people. The rain battered down on the roofs and window panes drumming a violent yet soothing rhythm. Some people curled up in a ball with a book and a cup of something hot, some played games of football drenched and dirty, some cursed the rain for their fevers and diseases and some hoped that the sun would somehow show it's face because all this water is just too overwhelming. And I'm somehow all of it.
I am lying down on the bed because I have got fever (thanks to the rain) because I played in the mucky slushy place (thanks to the rain), which is why I'm cozy and comfortably cold (thanks to the rain) and I somehow wish that I would stop being so lazy (thanks to the rain).
Nothing would suffice the feeling of having nice hot Maggi noodles and listening to the heavy downpour. Along with the continuous battering of the raindrops, there are some distinct ones which are heard because some hipster raindrops decide to feel up the trees then splash to the ground. That's rain for you. The perfect time to go for an adrenaline pumping fast drive with some close friends or maybe lightning photography. Surpringly, I haven't seen any thunderstorms. It's just rain, rain and more rain, none of it's scary counterparts this time
Two months back, I would do anything to live the moment I'm at. And now, I am desperate to see sweat drip down my forehead and complain about the scorching heat. I guess that's how I am, or how everyone is, never happy with what we have. If there was complete satisfaction, then I guess we would have been content with life and that means we wouldn't be yearning for more. If no more striving happens, then no more development. Well well well, what do you know, turns out even this hole in our heart that can never be filled also known as greed and desire has its good sides.
