“Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain.”

Another rainy day and experiencing the joys of getting drenched. There are times when you have to wait long (real long) for the rains to soak this semi-arid part of the country.  The rain God seems happy this year though!

September Delhi rains

I love the rains. The sight of Cumulonimbus, the first drops on grass, the fragrance in the air, the pitter-patter on roof tops, dancing peacocks, the slosh of puddles and if you are lucky enough, the rainbow!

Well, no luck yet with a good peacock picture, though I see them everyday! 

They bring along a lot of freshness.  And a lot of snapshots from the past- making paper boats, nursery rhymes, dancing in rain, ‘joy rides’ along winding roads, ‘adrak’ chai, the ever humble Maggi, sitting by window side and reading your favourite book, or simply being by yourself.

Our very own Pune picnics on rainy days!
Everything around changes magically! It’s grey and dull yet so colourful in shades of green.

My favourite rain moments are many and come gushing with this monsoon! What are your memorable rain moments?
