Ahh the rains - the bane of my existence and the object of all my romantic fantasies! 😆 (Bridgerton fans will get this reference)

Growing up in a city where it did not just rain, it poured with venom made me hate the rains growing up. I would associate them with unending traffic, clogged potholes, dirty puddles, the smell of wet clothes that took days to dry 🤢, public transit that came to a standstill, and taking hours to get home from anywhere. To me, rains were meant to be enjoyed (if that) at home with a cup of tea and hot snacks, some great music and a good book.

It's strange how perspectives on seasons can change when you move. In places where the rainy season didn't actually exist, I found myself yearning for the rains. And now winter isn't my favorite season when it used to be when back home.

I do have some fond memories of early school dismissals, taking the long route home with friends just so we could splash in the muddy puddles and be free to ruin our uniforms, because they would be washed on the weekend anyways! 😆

So yeah, I have a love-hate relationship with rains, but there are some things that I just love about rains -

• Petrichor
• The way everything around simply sparkles - clean and green after a shower
• The first streak of sunshine after the rain and the rainbow it brings with it.
• Having the freedom to get drenched without consequences. 😆
• Enjoying a hot cuppa with someone special 😳

Here's a rain song that doesn't just spell romance, it brings back fond memories of that precious first meeting

comminglement of Petrichor and sirimiri packs a hefty punch - To compliment it, the birds coming alacritously to bask in the subsequent apricity ! A harbinger of the recrudescent of the Efflorescence! ☔

Rain songs are my favourite songs!

Beautiful thread Madhu.

Oh the rain! And how people run to take a shelter as soon it starts falling.

I hardly use an umbrella. Not that I want to get wet in the rain, nor I am wary of getting wet. It just happens.

But I love eating freshly made snacks while it is raining with a hot cup of coffee.

Cheers..

Sridevi's Chaalbaaz is based on the staple plot of twins with different shades of characteristics and mannerisms. Sri carried the film on her very capable shoulders, displaying an incredible range of her acting prowess by playing the alcoholic trickster, and the traditional girl with equal ease.

If you can dance in the rain, you can stand in any storm. Don't wait until all the storms are over; just dance right in the middle of them to wade through the impending dangers!
