On One More Rainy Day...

Woke up to a rainy Sunday today! And its been raining non-stop ever since....Cyclone Jal effect!!!


Brrrrr its really cold and already with my 4th cup of coffee of the day...! :-) Coffee and rain...... Hot cup of home-made cappuccino..... chairs in the balcony..... and watching those raindrops falling.... Blissful!!!!


Soft music from the iPod.... a wonderful book to read..... curled up in my bed...... watching those raindrops on the window..... Hmmmm euphoric!!!


Rains have always been the season I enjoy the most.... And it doesn't matter where I am :-) During that hot hot hot summer in Pune, there's always been days when I longed to be back in Kerala to enjoy the monsoons.... The first rain after a hot summer..... Aaah the smell of wet earth...... So fresh and so pure!!!! For getting drenched all over again...... Nostalgic!!! :-)


Its always been the best days in school too....! A good pour means another holiday!!! :-D Else we made sure it was.... ;-) Cuddled under one umbrella....! Getting wet from head to toe..... Those were the days....! Why can't it be like that now??? **sigh**


Haaa this climate is bringing back such good memories!!! Wish it wasn't a Monday tomorrow and I didn't have to go to office!!!

Clouds

I looked out of my aircraft window

watching the city grow smaller

Up n up we went, into the puffy kingdom

I looked at the white bundles,

changing their shapes and constantly shifting

“Cauliflowers”, I told my mom,

to which she just smiled…

“No, dragons they are!!!”

with whiskers n horns n wings to fly

am not afraid I did tell her

he’s still smiling at me!

Flowers n whales n teddy I saw

And horses n Knights I showed my mom

Castles, so big n pink they were

and dreamed to be a princess there…

I wished to sleep in a bed of clouds

Hiding inside them, never to be found…

I smiled at my dreams as a kid

wondering if it was still possible…

I looked again at the fluffy whites

hoping to spot the same dragon again

I looked n looked for my pink castle

And the garden I simply adored

But all I could see was plain white clouds

Yes, now they are just clouds to me…

I failed to see my old friends in them

And as I looked at the white bundles again,

changing their shapes and constantly shifting,

I wished to be a kid again…..

Just another day...

Just another day at office…’twas like any other day…I had nothing to do today than going thru d documents that is due to b completed next week….N since am going home day after, I din feel like reading d boring stuff (well boring it wud b since I’d been doing nothing else for d past few days) I felt a lot lonely today, coz both the bays next to me had no movement…Both my friends had taken a week off n was now home…Must be sleeping all day long….Or maybe watching tv or just relaxing…N me? Stuck in office for another few more hours….

Now today was one of those days I really missed a3’s mails…Usually she bombarded all our mailboxes with loads of forwarded mails…It gets annoying at times, when you find so many of them…Rest of the days u wish d frequency wud b a bit high so u could keep urself occupied with d silly stuff…..There have been days when I’ve asked her to fill up my mailbox…..Now since she’s not here my outlook does not have anything to offer :-( Until now I’ve received nothing but a “Calvin” strip from Mr. know-it-all….That guy has been trying to make me like Calvin for too long….I always enjoy that part of our fight…..Hmmmm….not bad though :P

Nothing to do…Nothing to do….I simply refuse to read one more single line from that stupid document…OOPS!!!! That’s why they pay me…..Sorry it’s not stupid :-)

And so I decided to mail Ams…Now that’s what I usually do when I feel bored….I either mail my college friends….Or we just start a hilarious conversation through the communicator….Me, a3,MM n sometimes paappan too….Now that two are missing, it wouldn’t be as usual

Ams hasn’t been mailing me for quite some time now….Neither is she picking up the phone when I call….Hmmm I don’t understand.....How can she be so busy?? All my friend’s been telling me I send them too big mails they don’t have time to read the entire thing n reply back….Well it doesn’t take that much time to type things, does it? Lazy people!!!!

Anyway I asked her if she was still alive. N what a surprise!! She replied….She asked me what I’d bring for her when I come back from home….She wanted halwa n asked me not to open it from the mess hall…I was to bring it up directly to our room….All of a sudden I started remembering my college days….

College wasn’t so hip n happening for me….But I simply enjoyed those days at hostel….Everything was so different then….I remember the times when someone returned back from home n opened d home-made food or sweets or anything at all….All hands wud be on it together…..N it never mattered if one was hungry or not…..Fighting for it was the best part….This was exactly what ams was talking about…Whenever I went home I brought the special halwa of my place….N each time ams wud be d first one to taste it….V’d cut it n save some pieces for us roomies before calling d others….

The long chats during meals….irritating our matron n getting quick pinches from her at times….the roll calls along with matron’s scolding….the way v cud just keep on talking about anything n nothing v talked ever mattered to us…..teasings…..combined study on d eve of exams…..Missing all of it!!!!

Feels to be back in LH now….Just for a day maybe….Just like old times….Away from work….Away from all worries n tensions….Back in my room…..Curled up in my bed as usual……Reading my book n listening to my favourite playlist…..Watching the changing scenes of my screen-saver with ams until someone calls us crazy :-) ……Waiting for repi n TR to call us for lunch……Yes back at 303 where life was just care-free…..

I find myself thinking about all this, even though my eyes are on my computer screen, pretending as usual, to read that document…..Atleast my mind wud be occupied for the remaining 2 hours at office :-) ……

Thanks ams!!!
