Its raining outside! Raining! I can't believe it.. It never rains here in April. We have monsoon and thats when it rains.. for four months straight. But never in April. It was extremely warm and humid here lately and rain is the best thing to have happened in some time! Oh I'm sitting next at the window and typing this and its just lovely out here. The pitter patter sound of the rain.. the smell of wet earth.. the cool freshness in the air.. the little droplets flittering on my face. its just lovely! I find rainfall a beautiful thing. It quenches the earth and makes everything look new!
Its three in the morning right now and I'm feeling the freshest I have all day. Not because I;m nocturnal but because its raining. Oh I just love rains! I'm a July baby (the peak of monsoon) so for all my 20 birthdays I have had rain as the backdrop. Every single year. I have very pleasant memories associated with rain. In fact the night I was born was the first time it rained that year after a near-drought (its supposed to start raining by June start) so I have a special connection with rains. It makes me feel happy and romantic and excited.. even when I'm stuck in the rains without an umbrella or raincoat.. I still love it!
Tonight its making me think of my bf and all the times we have walked under one umbrella.. ran across the road when there was no umbrella (got wet anyway).. the time we were stuck together in a bus all night and half a day in the time of a flood due to excess rainfall with rain pounding on the bus and heavy thunder and both of us drenched to our bones. The bus was packed with people and there were cars and vehicles and people abandoning their cars and walking home all around us. But I didn't budge and I didn't fret and I wasn't scared. Rain always gets me in touch with my emotions somehow and makes me feel more loudly (its the only way I can express it) and that night he was with me and all I cared about was that. I loved him so much (still do) and I just knew we'd get home safely. Because he told me we would.
Ahh rain.. if I could just run downstairs and dance in the rain right now!

I feel the same way about the rain, and it's rained on all but...three? I think...of my birthdays (I'm an October gal though). :) It's hard to describe that feeling, isn't it? It's like everything in your soul and around you is clearer somehow.
I say go for it -- dance in the rain every chance you get! It's been drought conditions here, but it rained this week and you bet your butt I was laughing in the rain. :)
