The Soulful Atom

Reflecting over life through weird, crazy, ever changing, euphoric, absurd, confused and at times impartial lenses -a journey of curiosity and questions with my two alter egos.. as I try to fall out of the stagnation of instability.. or the desperate attempt to remain..

i like the wet rims of a concrete drainage cover, the morning after..
i like the long gray streets darkened in places, covered with dry leaves and yellow flowers from the havoc of the night before..
i like the familiar face of a stranger, reminding me of my good old village and the childhood memories..
i like the way all shadows become one, when the clouds cover the sun..
i like the soft caressing of the breeze..
And the smell of wet mud drifting from a place far off..
i like the cleaned air, and hurried people unaware of all the beauty that surrounds them..
i like being in my own slow places when the showers hit the tarrying people caught unawares..
i like the soft touch of the drops melting on my skin, giving it a new life..
i always know when he is coming..
We both anxiously await his arrival..
His lover and me..
He gives her signs, that i read too and smile at how naive they are for their age..
well what can i say..
I like the rain.. :)

I think this ranks as one of your better blogs - if simply for the reason it reflects exactly what was going on within you as you wrote this. FYI, I also like the rain and all it's associated phenomena :)

thank you! well its all pretty common.. :) so anyway ya i love rain!! :D

Reminds me of that time of the year when gulmohur blossoms are caught by surprise by the blessings from heaven.
I can also taste the flavour of gulzar,RD burman & Asha Bhosle brewing vintage 'mera kuch samaan...'

oh ya.. i love that song! :) reminds me more of those yellow flowers.. whatever they are called.. they fall at the slightest provocation from a delicate breeze and litter the roads darkened by rain sprinkles.. :)
