There’s something very peculiar about rain. It’s always got its own agenda. The rain that makes you want to snuggle in bed and read a book is distinct from the rain that wants you to snuggle in bed and watch a movie. Then there’s the rain that makes you go into you iTunes and dig out Janet Jackson or some other lost song from the past.
There are days when rain just wants to meet mud and play. The red smell of it draws you to the window and makes you look at a football with lust.
Dull throb rain means to make you as sad as it is. No matter how young or old you are it wants you to remember and pine.
There’s verandah rain and chai rain and sometimes the two go together. Rain that calls for lovemaking plays a softer tune than the one that makes you dance.
Some might think that it’s not the rain but the mind that has feeling. But that’s just silly. It’s a well known fact that Rain is a person and has moods and MPD like the rest of us.
Today Rain is just rain. She’s playing her cards close to the chest and won’t let me in on her plans. So I’m in office. Tomorrow maybe we’ll play hooky.

Rain sure is a person, and she is one elusive one in delhi. Like my fb status message said till some days back, when it rains, it makes a f@#$%^& joke of itself. I miss my 'i'll-stall-everything-and-make-everybody-yake-notice-of-me' rains of calcutta, which happens to be one of the LOT of things i miss about it.
hahaha...your writing almost has the staccato rhythm of soft rain :)
