The Joy of Rains at 6.15 am

Yeah..I danced in the rains (not literally though) today morning!

Well, I was 'fresh' awake (still surprised!) at 5 in the morning since I had promised a coffee date with Americans Mr.Sarbanes and one Mr.Oxley, particularly famous for the SOX Act of 2002. In short, I had to study Auditing. Was flipping through the pages of my module, religiously noting down points while sipping through hot tea (i had disagreed on coffee you see..wink wink!). The coffee/tea date lasted for about an hour and soon I got distracted by the drizzle outside. Made me think whether I thoroughly enjoyed the rains at any point of time this year..My heart said No. And off I ran to my terrace, with another hot cuppa to have a rain-bath! Was totally wet at 6.15 am (the title says so!) The cuppa was already empty and my mind was filling with thoughts just like the puddles on the road..

I realized that I had never been rain-wet this season like I used to till last year. I make it a point to do so every year and thankfully I continued the ritual too before this season end. Am being cynical these days, be it in my studies, my work, my way of life. Why is it that people tend to lose their childish charm as they grow up? I fear being a part of the dull herd in near future. I fear I'll lose the simple joys, rather, not being able to notice the simple joys of life like getting rain-wet in some years. Yes, we definitely need to act mature and efficiently carry the burden of responsibilities created by us solely. However, there is a thing called 'personal space' which I strongly believe in. how many of us give ourselves this much needed space? By personal space, I donot mean a strict self SWOT analysis. My idea of personal space comprises of a SWOT analysis of how I am as a human being, enjoying the sky above, enjoying silence, enjoying the strip of land and water between Kalyan and Thakurli station, humming a song, writing a poem or two. I donot do all of these at a time but yeah, these do make up my personal space - Enjoying the sound of silence for a couple of minutes is my favourite. This personal space thing really perks me up. Helps me 'feel good' realizing that I am fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful world. (Getting all emotional now - Thank you God!)

Hope you too realize the same and murmur a prayer or two while enjoying 'your' personal space..

Here I go, back to another hot cuppa and SOX!!
