A Little Princess

 

 

Sunshine is delicious, Rain is refreshing, Wind braces us up, Snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather ~ John Ruskin

No one would really deny with John Ruskin's word. But given a chance, I always inculcate some extra affinity for rain.  Perpetually, it remains a personal choice and one's experience with a particular weather. However, I wonder, anyone who fears rain has ever played, danced or even walked in the rain.

Thanks to the regular alarm which woke me up at 7 on this enchanting Saturday morning. The cosy rain did force me to stay a little longer in bed but finally I am up watching the rain calmly, with a cup of scrumptious Tea.

Looking out of streaked window with complacency, what a morning this is. A kid with her arms stretched, feeling the rain; letting the rain kiss her; letting the rain beat her forehead with its silver liquid drops. She is so engrossed as if rain is singing the lullaby for her. She appears to be 7-8 years old trying to feel the unvoiced emotions of the twinkling raindrops on her nose.

Slowly it is making me nostalgic, dragging down the memory lane but I want to stay here watching this little kid enjoying the soothing music of Mother Nature.

Have you ever observed the flowing rain water on ground when the flow from different directions merges into it? Such a display of trust; none of the silver drops seems to question the intension of flow or its destination.

Absolutely alluring to watch the unvoiced emotions of raindrops getting together forming the bubbles and releasing until they become overwhelming with their deluge of romantic declarations. Its seductive beauty is driving me crazy. Let me join the little princess; let the rain beat my forehead with its silver liquid drops.

इस पल में ऐसा लगता ज्यों
शांत ब्याथाएं सभी जगत की
यह पल ऐसा जैसे की सब
भूल गए खटपट जीवन की!!

इस पल में सब सुधबुध खो कर
मस्त बदरिया की लखते हैं
इस पल में एकाग्र हुआ मन
शोक सभी जग के कटते हैं!!

कुंठाएं सब भूल समय यह
अब्सादों को ढकने का है
यह अमूल्य क्षण शांत खड़े हो
बौछारों को तकने का है!!
