The Joy of Rains

-


There are hardly any people in this world who haven’t loved rains at some or the other point of time in their life. Rain has that magic that captivates your soul and soothes it to eternity. It is just pure bliss. The blooming of flowers, the growth of fresh tender leaves, the gushing streams, the chirping birds and greenery associated with rains just melts the heart and brings an instant smile on the face. The mere thought process is also such an instant stress-buster. 
 
Well... so who doesn’t love rains? Just recall the following experiences; The sound of heavy rains on the roof, the smell of mud on receiving first showers, the sensation of rain on your body, the water puddles, the crazy rain dances and games you’ve with your pals, the sound of a waterfall, the thundering, the lightening. Aah! Phenomenal. Isn’t it?

There is no age-limit to loving it. While children enjoy the puddles and paper boats, adults fancy their chances of getting cosy with their loved ones and eating something hot and crispy. Rains bring in a lot of nostalgia. You might have more than often heard of your grandpa telling you stories about the times gone by. Rains re-create such vivid scenes in our mind that it is impossible to stop the chain of thoughts which are set in motion.

If you’re in a relationship, there is incessant ‘I miss you’ happening between the love birds. Whereas, if you’re single there is lot of football games (on the ground, not PC) and simply soaking in the rains with your friends happening. Worse, if you had a break-up recently or had some major quarrel with your best pal, the times kill you with all the damn memories. Needless to say, rains is a season which makes you high on emotions and sensitive to everything and anything.

Unknowingly, even the people who dislike rains are happy about having enjoyed these moments. We all love and are simply crazy about rains as a child. Infact, I remember waiting for June every start of the year. It is just that as we grow up, many of us get so worked up with life and its diktats that we stop cherishing these beautiful moments and start cursing it. Since, enjoyment takes a back-seat and the mad, constant routine of being a guinea pig takes the driver’s seat. Welcome aboard. Wish you a boring ride.
 
Hence, I’d recommend you to all just go out full throttle and enjoy the rains without any second thoughts once a month before the monsoon season ends. Whatever it maybe; trekking, playing some sports, farming or simply a walk in the rains. You’ll be refreshed right within, spiritually. 

So take out those rain gear (needn't necessarily wear it) and march ahead. 

Happy Splash-down!

Little stories - from the year goneby

-
  2020 was a year that none of us would forget in our lifetime. A year which made the world stop, quite literally . Absolutely crazy time which threw every system, every bit of regularity there is to life and every relation out of order. Having been caught by surprise, of course, everyone panicked and made frivolous attempts to make sense out of the situation. The ridiculously long time of being confined to one’s own house drew the entire race crazy, because by definition, humans are social animals and the socializing aspect was lost. This got me thinking, how innate it is for us to socialize (even for introverts), the basic urge to meet varied people and communicate is what makes us, US! While a few, staying away from their families discovered how it is getting back home; the ones working on frontline during this pandemic realized how it is being away from family, even after being home. A lot of us valued physical touch even more and how comforting even a simple hug, handsha...

Surreal yet real

This post is a bit out of the box and a very elaborate one. It is about my experiences of that amazing, spine chilling, mother of all thrillers night. So brace yourselves. Many of you, at least the goan pals, might've heard about the famous 'Gadyanchi Jatra of Sal'. To break it down, 'Gade' can roughly be called as players. 'Jatra' can be described as a periodical festival celebrated in honour of an idol or local deity. To further clarify, the happenings that occur in this festival are mystic and can be attributed to the cause of supernatural forces. Though science does not believe in the existence of life after death, many cultures in the world have a lot of rituals dedicated to ghosts and spirits. Before some of you jump off to the conclusion of calling it rubbish and declaring it to be another post spreading superstition in this age of advancement, I ask you to further read on. Even I'm a science student and trust me I'd taken this down...

Back with a bloggy bang :P

So it's been a long time since I've written a blog. After years, I'm back to it. This time cause of another friend of mine. Thank you mate! Cheers. Let's see for how long this stint continues. Hopefully more than a year. Well more than will, I'll need continuous pestering to keep on writing and hopefully go full down throttle with it. The way summer season seems to be ghastly eating up the water resources, the same way its going on with my thoughts. Needless to say, it's summer making me ponder, what to write with the cursor being stationary at the same place for a couple of minutes to write the next sentence. Writing your first blog is always tricky. not like you don't know what to write. There are many things to write but then you cant write all of them in the first post itself. Saal bhar yeh hi kachra toh jhadna hai . So this was just a way to restart things. Perhaps a short introductory fresher's course. Hopefully it'll sustain. Till th...
