I am not much of a rain lover but I can't help it when it rains especially when I was dying with extreme humidity in a new place. It seemed like the dark black clouds had forgotten their way to Delhi and when they finally arrived, I was awakened from my sleep by the sound of big raindrops falling on the floor just outside my room. My first thought was, "So finally, it pours on J.K. Rowling's birthday! Bless her." And with my room mates having a peaceful sleep, I had the moment to myself which resulted in the following few lines... ;-)
As I wake up early in the morning
I hear the raindrops crashing on the floor
I smile and rejoice with the very thought
Finally, it's pouring as I run past the door
That moment of happiness is not explainable
when you witness the the first rain of monsoon
but the experience that I have is much better
as I feel my first rain in a place unknown
The anger and frustration of last night is now gone
not with the sleep but with the feel of the drops
I smile and smile and smile to myself
as my long awaited wish is now granted
Today when I would step on the road
I would not like the dirt that flows
But I throw the thought away
As for now, I have this moment to myself
Tip ! Tip ! Tip ! The rain cries
As it falls on the earth away from the sky
In my palm, I catch a few drops
And preserving them forever is my only thought
As long as I have the vision of the rain
in my mind, my heart will remain blessed
with a cheerful laugh on my face
