do you remember the time..?

I distincly remember monsoon season (dont wonder if we ever had any in Madras..Darn Yes!WE sure did). Rain was always fun, splotch, splash, squish, sqwack...It was
times of paper boats, wet shoes, soggy socks. Unreasonable smiles and laughter, never ending squeals and chatter. It always filled me with a strange sense of bright happiness to see the sky cloudy and gloomy (hahaha, that really sounds strange in writing). AJ and myself had a fancy for rain. We used to play word games, trying to describe what the rain is actually doing..coming up with the craziest of things starting from laundrying the earth to overflow of tanks in heaven!

leaving this as a WIP

probly the reason y u dont remember rains and monsoon in madras is becos its become very diff to relate them to madras.. bombay is flooded and so is differnet places in karnataka and bangalore gets contant rains and madras none... if this situation continues for another 5 years i guess everybody can vacate and move to a better place... once and for all...
