Today it was the Union Inauguration. During the function i got a bad head-ache. Actually, a lot of probz r running thru my little head and heart. I am always lost somewhere but pulling myslef hard to be in the real scenarios. Today finally, i lost my balance that i was thrown into a head-ache. I found it dfficult to be inside the hall from then. Me n Betcy wen out to the thattu-kada for tea, wen Anoop and Jantony also accompanied and i had 2 cups of highly strong tea which along with the fresh air did little good to me.
When i reached home, i spent some long horus with amma recounting my day to her. There was Rekha chechi also. My head ache was still prominent. I then ate and went upstairs for a bath wen nature's shower erupted brraking forth the clouds.
I went upstairs, left my kaalan koda and my bag on my bed, and switched on the radio onto 92.7FM. Then i had an idea. I changed into a home dress n went into the terrace. I felt like nature bidding me to go into the rain. The terracce was empty unlike the usual times wen its filled with clothes for drying.
I just put my first step in the rain. I just walked to and fro along the terrace. I splashed the water in the puddles that the rain made here n there. I sang some songs. I felt so light. The water wen it wet all my face it started running down my nose and eye lids making me feel the rain playing with me. I wanted to look at the skies, but my eyes were so scared whether the rain wud fall directly into it. The leaves of the coconut tree deflected some of the waters that made them fall at an angle. I then found a seat on the parappet. I looked down on the tin sheet of my neighbour's house. There were empty coconut shells on it which were getting filled with water. "palathulli paruvellam". So i cupped my hands and just held them and waited patiently feeling so happy abt the every small drop that fell on them.Then my amma came and peeped thru the terrace door wen she was entering her room. Her piercing look at me conveyed a lot and unknowingly my hands just loosened dropping all the collected water. She left, wen aunty came running with a stick
"koche, ingottu keri va...ninakku echiri kozhuppu koodunnu...pani pidikkum...cheriya mazhaya...edi vettunnathu keettille? minnalundu..keri vaa koche...ni varunnundo?"
Her shouting destroyed my peace though i was glad that ppl r concerned abt me.I then went inside, tried to bring her into the rain wen amma came and asked me to take a shower quickly. So i left back to my room...tuned my radio to 92.7 FM and danced to the melodies wen i realized that i had a head ache a few hours ago. But where did my head-ache go? The rain drained it off.I danced for joy!!!I had a joyous shower and thot of updating my blogs which were abandoned for a long time.So i m here blogging.
I love the rain - i want to be in the rain again...I am reminded of the fights me, ghosh, betcy, rajeev had in the rain yesterday. I wore a pure white dress to college. Wen i returned home my entire dress was wet and all amy dress was brown owing to my fantastic gaming at college.
Many times i have taken this beautiful nature for granted. I m grateful to nature itself for correcting me.
