Its been raining heavily this morning . The sky was so grey and overcast that it looked more like the dusk than the dawn today . I woke up to the incessant ringing of my mobile alarm , but I wasn't dragging my feet like most days . Today I woke up with a spring ,fresh from the sleep and strangely ,wanting no more . The scene outside my big sitting room window was white like fog , only it turned out to be rain upon closer inspection . Now rains early in the morn is usual back home in Kerala .In Bangalore though the rain times itself more conveniently towards the evenings .So this was unexpected .
No matter that I got ready quickly I was still running late for my early morning bus to the office. When I got out of the house , the rain was a heavy drizzle,water flowing on the roads and I had to splash my way through . Luckily I got an auto to take me the rest of the couple of hundred meters to where my bus usually waits . But today no bus ! Oh no , not today .. Quick thinking and I asked the auto to speed on to the next stop where the bus takes a loop around the block and arrives . I cut to the chase quite literally and went there straight and voila , minutes after I reached ,the bus snaked its way slowly there . Thus relieved , I climbed into the bus , settled myself in and after a quick status check call with the husband , snoozed off .Head lolling ,wrapped in a warm stole and eyeing the heavy downpour whenever I shook awake ,I reached the office around the regular time . Rain or no rain , the morning traffic seems to be kinder to the office goers in this traffic nightmarish city .
I alighted in front of my office building and splashing my way even more than earlier , I made my way in, shivering . Usually I loathe the office going part of the day . It only gets worse on Mondays . Today turned out to be different though . Was it because of the rain , you ask ? No .. It was despite the rain . I even have a song playing on my lips ; that sweet voice of one of my favourite singers ringing in my ears , "Aaja piya tohe pyaar doon.." . So that's why I settled in with a hot cup of ginger tea to type away as soon as I reached . Well before my team mates arrive because of my bus schedule that ferries me half way across the city to my office and back home in the evenings . So all in all , I like today . This day looks good !

It was nice reading your posts. I miss those rainy days in blore. Your happiness might also be because of the rain than despite. you never know!
Hey Ram,
Good to see you here. Yeah I'm very sporadic in my writing these days , but I too go through my old blogging community once a while and get all nostalgic about it. 😊
