Rainy nostalgia.....

Getting soaked to the bone in the rains. A pleasant and sordid experience at the same time. On one hand the showers make you all shivery while on the other they tend to relate to your being somehow.But its one of the best seasons of the year,this rainy season.Seems to wash you and your worries away as well....The tiny drop dripping from a rooftop seems to say a lot. It appeared from the boundless skies and to this will it return. Obviously, its glory is not everlasting. Somewhat like us; humans.There's a time when this drizzle appears and with the passing of the season it goes away. It teaches us something, this downpour...To flow on endlessly.To keep on lunging forward.Dissolving the sorrows and pains.Ya, I love getting drenched from head to toe.It seems to provide me with a queer sort of freedom.Guess its a way of nature to equip us with a thing or two.The paper boats we used to make during monsoons as children..... were a treat to the eyes.Don't have a clue where they have floated away.Perhaps to some faraway magic land.But their memories are sweet.Those boats don't exist today.Neither do those little children who expressed great glee in floating them. They have all grown up.But the sizzling rain..... its always the same. With each falling drop comes a flood of memories.Fond and lovely.And somewhere these memories are safely guarded in the heart of a drenched individual.......

  • yes najwa. to tell the truth it reminds me of someone too.

  • I love your post Shujat khan. Did you write it yourself? Well if you did, you are a talented writer. I also love the rain. I love the water. I enjoy being in water. Yes you are right it brings back memories of childhood playing paper boat. HAHA I miss those days
  • hi nebia. Yes, i am an Indian too and men are changing these days !
  • Dear friend of EC, you are the third man that I meet who is loving being wet with rain, washing his pain!One of the other two men explained to me that under the rain he could cry and his tears would be washed by rain and none can expect his cries cause a man can not cry!!!! The other one didn't explain why but I guess he has a good reason for being so! Your writing is magic, being a woman I don't like to be under the rain, I like to do it as Expector; watch it from far.Amazing to see men trying to leave their state of being men( strength) just to be humans for a while!
    I have to tell you that the two men are Indians, if you are an indian too it means for me that rain of india has a magical impact on men, I would be happy to feel that magic on me!
    Excellent writing; thank you!
