I have walked out in rain - and back in rain

And there was some thunder and lightning and before you knew it, the streets of Mumbai were lashed with the pre-monsoon showers! It was such a beautiful sight...like love at first sight..
Mumbai is known for her monsoons.. The floods, the colourful umbrellas, the bight windcheaters, the cutting chai and jalebis at the road side stalls..wow! 3 months of that..The best 3 months ever.. People in Mumbai complain a lot about the rains but eventually, they all love it.. Its a great change from the sweltering heat in the months of April and May..Its a change, a beautiful refreshing change...!


The Rains remind me of so many things.. Robert Frost's Poetry, A Hot Cup Of Coco, My Favorite Book, Bollywood Movies..And waking up,all snuggled into your warm blankets to a rainy morning...
 I love that feeling...!!

I think Bollywood movies make Monsoons the month of soul mate searching.. Those romantic songs make my heart tinkle with joy..The black umbrella and the lovers standing under it,shy and quiet.. The girl dancing, asking for her loved one to come soon..The lover dancing with her beloved in the rain, doing a waltz on the streets...Its all so magical!

Some of my favorite lines and quotes about the rain are below...:)

• The roadside flowers, too wet for the bee,
  Expend their bloom in vain.
  Come over the hills and far with me,
  And be my love in the rain.
                              A Line- Storm Song By Robert Frost
• Oh, come forth into the storm and rout
  And be my love in the rain.
                             A Line- Storm Song By Robert Frost 

• A poet is someone who stands outside in the rain hoping to be struck by lightning.
• And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.
• Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
• A rainy day is the perfect time for a walk in the woods.
