Raincoat................

Finally Monsoons have reached Mumbai...the beautiful Mumbai rains have started pouring in. All the Mumbaikars finally have a sigh of relief, off late most of the Mumbaikars have faced water shortage and some major rise in the temperature and this beautiful rain have provided relief to us from all these crappy things happening around and not to forget now we have strongest of genuine reasons for reaching late to office and having some more garam garam chai with some nice gapshap....
My love for rains goes a long way back..it started when i was in school, my school being situated in the heart of the city had to accommodate all the flood affected people in and around the area and we used to get around two weeks off from school and i as a kid that was a good enough reason to love rains...My dadi always used to tell me that rain is a blessing given to all living beings as it provides relief to everyone...it provides a reason to flourish to everything..it brings along prosperity and i used to get mesmerized by her logic and i started loving rains more...as i grew up i just loved playing football and riding my bike in rain and so on....
Now when i sit in my AC office and see the beautiful Mumbai rains pouring heavily out i feel like analyzing it. As I'm doing it I'm again and again reaching to a point where I can stop myself from thinking about human relationships. Surprisingly the thought process and analysis has pointed out some very basic and interesting similarities between the beautiful rains and human relationships....
If i have to put in my Dadi's words rain is a blessing to all living beings, as it brings along a relief to already troubled beings from the killing heat and dryness so if I consider this aspect of rain i can not stop myself from saying that human relationships also provide the same kind of relief to us...A relationship, especially one very special and close to our hearts, provides the same kind of relief to us...in our stressed and dry life it provides us the relief and calms us down and gives us a hope that at the end of a dry and stressed spell of life its gonna get in the freshness and beauty which the rains bring along.....We can largely depend on this relationship to provide us relief and provide us the strength to keep on trying and inspires us to flourish....
At the same time I think about the chaos and destruction caused by this beautiful creation.... I can not stop myself from thinking about after effects of a beautiful relationship gone out of the hands of both people involved in it...rain doesn't think about the after effects of its pouring the same way in a relationship not a single individual who is whole heartedly involved in a relationship never thinks of any after effects of his whole hearted involvement and gives his everything to it.
Once a relationship goes out of hands, the individual who finds himself nothing less than a destroyed victim of a heavy rainfall and at this point of time he stops appreciating the beauty of his relationship and just remembers the destruction caused by it..the same way most of us wont remember the beauty of Mumbai rains but will remember 26th July 2005 and the destruction thereon..........
But again one must understand this is just one instance and the next time around the beautiful rains again gonna pour in with the same dedication and blessings of the creator and gonna bring along prosperity and gonna provide the strength to flourish...
As they say "Tal sukha hai..Megh nahi...firse Megh aayenge aur phir....."
So guys just love beauty of rains and forget all ill effects and destructions........
