november rainS

This weather demands that you be outdoors, enjoying the cold rain. A short journey to Borivali station has never been so exciting ! I left home with an umbrella looking at the dull overcast sky outside which made everything appear in tones of gray. just as i set foot outside, it began to drizzle, it was magical ! There was freshness in the air and the colours were screaming for attention. The green on the trees and that of the grass, the green on the traffic light too ! Every colour appeared fresh painted onto the surface it occupied.

The winter rain has a different happy feeling that accompanies it ! It isn't hot and humid in between showers like our seasonal monsoon weather.

The evening renders everything into shades of silver and blue, and brings pitch darkness early. With no streets lights on, the shops that dot the street, the vehicular lamps and the traffic lights paint the most gorgeous pictures ever !

The weather also demands music, beautiful music. November Rain (an obvious choice) but only for the music, not so much for the lyrics. Jimi Hendrix, especially Voodoo Child and Gypsy Eyes are perfect to add to the mood !

I wish i had a car on day like these.

On such days i also miss my old home, where i could go to the terrace and lie on my back and stare at the sky and sometimes read on the top of the overhead tank.
