it's amazing how a sudden downpour can change your mood completely. sometimes it makes you bright and chirpy; sometimes, terribly gloomy. when it rained today, there were mixed emotions among all my friends. some were happy and bubbly, some crabby and irritable. i guess it all depends on what mood you're in when it starts to rain. there have been times when i just stare blankly out my window at the rain and get lost in my world of daydreams. it probably depends on what the rain makes you remember in these moments that puts us in good or bad moods. or perhaps the rain makes you forget all that you were thinking about; all it makes you see are the puddles(or in our case, flooded roads) before you and makes you want to jump right into them, leaving behind your worries and inhibitions on the washed pavement. it's extremely relative-the things that rain does to people. it all depends on how one perceives it. even though there have been times when the cloudy, grey skies and the cold, damp weather have sent me into contemplative, bitter, or cheerless moods, i still love the monsoons! it's undoubtedly the best season there is! the time to take those 5 extra minutes in bed all wrapped up in your warm and cosy blanket. the time to stand with your half broken umbrella in pouring rain trying desperately to catch an empty rick home (who hasn't looked back on these times and laughed?). the time to come back home, soaking wet and look forward to a warm cup of coffee or maybe some freshly fried pakodas. the time to catch up with friends and wade through the water together. the time when we all pray for the heavy rains with the hope of being sent home early from school. everyone, even those who claim to hate the monsoons, will have to admit that it's the season to enjoy! to have fun! to be a kid again! don't curse the rains, ignore it's minor glitches and bask in its awesomeness!
