Monsoon joy .......

A blog and FB friend Uma Srini shared this Paul Coelho stuff as a Wall photo on FB.

While this may be attractive for someone who is habituated to gently drizzling rain, fashionably useless matching designer umbrellas, orderly rule obsessed traffic,  smooth roads without pockmarks, and a crowd that doesnt bother to look as a lady , with possibly the lower part of her outfit missing, strikes a ballet pose , as she leaps across a wet road,  jumping across roads in India during the rains , is a different kettle of fish. 

They say "To enjoy the rainbow, first enjoy the rain..."

Learn how .

Kapdaa famine frocks,
DevAnand caps covering the chakshu,
Pointless matching small umbrella,
a hand in the pocket,
(clutching a cell phone)
which would have
otherwise
if held out,
put her in balance.

What's so great about
jumping in pointy shoes
on a road
devoid
of
decent potholes,
overtaking rickshaws,
whizzing bikes
and roaring buses
suddenly changing lanes ?

You want to enjoy rains ?
Have garam chai,
pakodas,
and roasted corn
as the rain
drips through
your plastered hair
into the cup,
making it run over
with monsoon joy......
