Title Intentionally Left Bank: Its Raining...Its Pouring

Posted by SMM on 14:13

Its raining
Its pouring
The old man is snoring....

I feel like getting out of my office and going dancing in the rain.
I want to launch paper boats in the rain.
I want to sing in the rain - "Aao bachchon tumhe dikhaye jhaanki Hindustan ki". Don't ask me why that particular sng, but maybe cuz 'm feeling patriotic with Independence day coming up next week.

I want to have garma garam pakoras with spicy hari chutni.
I want to go splotch in the puddles. the lane outside my school would get flooded very fast and we would go splotch splotch in knee deep water screaming and shrieking, splashing water on one and all.
I have just had a hearty meal and now I want to simply curl up and sleep.

Anyway 'wants' aside, tomorrow is a SECOND SATURDAY, which for me means its a holidayyyyyyyyy. Arjun's going out of town this weekend on work. My plans include a nice looooooooong session at the parlour indulging myself with a seaweed wrap (or should I have a sea salt face cleansing) and a manicure and a pedicure and a back massage and a very painful but essential blackhead removal session. Why do allt he lovely things in life have to have some bit which is painful :(

I plan a Sunday of getting up late & afternoon naps (before and after lunch) & lotsa reading time.

Blissssss....

splashing in puddles is a wonderful thing to do - all adults should try it more often!

a close second is running through autumn leaves as soon as they have been piled up.

Dianne: Stamping along on dried up leaves and waiting for that crunch sounds....That's how I met one of my closest friends. Both of us wanted to stamp a big pile of dried up leaves in autumn :)

Solitaire: Yup its going great. A lazy lazy weekend. Little rain. Nice fun & chilled out time. How was your weekend?

Keshi: I love the gain bit but not the pain bit :)

11 August 2008 at 10:12

Nice pics of the Delhi rain! Sleeping, reading, beauty treatment and ample time to do all of these..what more can you ask for in life! :)

11 August 2008 at 16:08

Keshi, I appreciate the GAIN completely and whole heartedly. But I can still whine about the PAIN right :P

11 August 2008 at 16:09

Anu: Yes it certainly is. Even worse than getting my eye brows done

11 August 2008 at 16:10

Zombie: Its been ages since I enjoyed a lazy weekend. Generally I get only a Sunday off, most of which goes in doing the household chores. So a two day weekend is like completely luxury. I get a two day weekend only once a month though - the Second Saturday f the month is an off for us.
