And that's monsoon!


A perfect sunny day with nice, soothing warmth and perfectly azure skies.
Sitting by the window, you're reading.
When you look out the window after finishing a page, all you see is darkness.
And while you're still thinking when did this transformation happen,
you feel droplets lashing against your skin.
Rain is the stimulus for lovers and writers.
It's the catalyst that washes away the masks and unveils the vivid colours.
And while you're gazing out the window,
an unpretentious smile has already taken rest on your lips.
Gradually the skies become brighter, you notice.
The velvety grey clouds making way for a patchy blue sky.
And only the drenched leaves quivering as the raindrops slide down
to make splashy puddles on the drunk ground.
Because monsoon is not when you run to take cover;
it's when you rush outdoors to take a swig of life!
