Rains and romanticism

Think rains, and you cannot escape your romantic side being unleashed. It’s the essence that rains create which makes you fall in love with it. The smell of the first rains seduces you to pour out your heart’s hidden desires to your loved one or makes you put that pen to paper to express unsaid feelings in a poem or unleash your passion on a canvas with colours reflecting the vivid moods the rains get you into. It can make you sit at home having hot bhajjias or simply snuggle up with your love; it can also make you want to go out and get completely drenched. Maybe even make you do a little rain salsa with your partner!

The smell of the first rains seduces you to pour out your heart’s hidden desires to your loved one or makes you put that pen to paper to express unsaid feelings in a poem.

The rains get us in the right mood for catching up on the special moments of life. Everything around you looks dreamy. The freshly-washed earth and the glistening green leaves make you want to breeze through life. There’s something about the monsoons that makes you want to break the routine monotony and pull back, spend time with loved ones. Enjoy simple pleasures of life such as watch a movie at home, go out for a drive; or even sit at your window sipping tea, having a chat and enjoying the pitter-patter. Rains are not only the harbingers of romance, but also romanticism, making it the core essence of the season.

When it rains, there’s a huge interplay of nature. You see the marching clouds, the sea in its different moods, huge waves dashing onto the shore; then it is calm again simply welcoming the rains to fall tenderly into it; the sky changing colours, the lightning, the thunder.

When the skies come pouring, it is nostalgia time for all. The rains take you on a poetic tour and bring forth long lost memories. The days gone by play on your mind. That long lost love… those wonderful times you’ve had. With the rains coming in every year, there’s a different story to tell. The wondrous moments spent even while you just sit and look back, give you a different high.
