Branka is wiping her Pyari Saheli's rain-soaked face with her scarf, Padma shields her from drenching with a floral umbrella , Dragice is there with a cup of hot coffee , Nado is busy making a green gazebo for the open view of the surrounding area, Avi gifted her "World's Greatest Literature " set and her Mads is there soaking with her in that incessant rain, observing her every expression with admiration !She is a prolific analyst of any issue!Her sharp observations on situations, expressions, society and human relationships are laudable, commands respect from all! She sat there on the rain-drenched staircase of that porch of the Dreamers Paradise CC and watching the strong winds touching every tree, fingering every leaf and branch with ineffable beauty and harmony! The rain is creating a shield around her, she indulged in deep thinking --
"I always love the rain! Why the silver puddles are creating a nostalgia!Oh am I listening to the same lovely melody of that sweet laughter again, in this shower of the rain over that floral bushes and creepers,?Is it not exactly like those days? A fast forward flash of past events! I can see a beautiful dance in every step you take with me, Love O my love! forever follow me, please! Want to spend time like this forever, recollections of those rain-drenched beaches of the Arabian Sea!
The sky is gray today, I sometimes wonder what color of those feelings which spread all over our heart when it's raining! Maybe they are in rainbow colors and different shades in between. That' in between' isn't it the space of wonder, of mystery, Yaa .. is a place that I love to live! I wonder what goes on outside the world on rainy days like this."-- Again memories- "When I saunter in that soft rain, small pellets of water spitting on my hands and drenching my heart! Recollecting the beautiful experiences of the gentle sunshine of springtime, yet it is a part of life and I want to feel it just the same. I want to experience each drop, together and apart, same and different. I want to see the droplets soaking my eyelashes prior to joining my dreams to add some glint to those. Ohh-- wish to be in this poetic mood for long, just like uniting my mind with my soul into one - as if nature looked right into my eyes and pulled the warmth out from my heart."--[ Ah, what a stance!! She thought that Nature looks into her eyes, not her eyes gazing the Nature !! Yes, it could only gaze at her in astonishment !] Still indulged in her verbal stream of consciousness --
"These crazy chaotic droplets are touching my heart and don't know where all these tender feelings are coming out to dip my thoughts into these joyful emotions, a pure bliss, painting my face with the changing hues of the morning sun, similar to the smiles of the early morning flowers when they were blooming afresh !Ohh, gosh! This gusting wind is carrying me into a whirling vortex of that poetic expressions at one moment and in diagonally opposite feeling of Karma Theory in another!The tiny droplets are rolling down from my face like a thin layer of Keats and PB Shelly's poems and lyrical verses while dabbing my eyes!
Now the rain sounds like the heavens are knocking on our door, roof and windows. Today is a day of inescapable dampness, as I sit with my friends on this wet patch to watch the downpour, errant raindrops falling on my palms as if nature is trying to write an enchanting story of a young girl's quivers in Monsoon, anyway, I know I am the person who has to write the preface to that rain's romantic story !!"---
Her rainbow friends are watching her fast changing expressions on her face, that childish glee when she teases her friends, a matured discourse over a philosophical issue, a wise analysis in her inimitable style with wisdom whenever her friends ask her for an advice!Now , they are listening the glistening literary expressions flowing through her words, and watching her analytical skills with awe , gazing with wonderment for her vast knowledge of Literature , on social issues, life's great miracles, and unsolved puzzles !! There is a devout authenticity whenever she tend to convince her friends , an involvement she shows for which we have to acknowledge with appreciation . A perfectionist in nature and a connoisseur of knowledge ,a nature lover and a staunch supporter of culture and traditions , though modern in appearance , no false pretentions , a spade is a spade , not a heart or a diamond, whatever may be the case ! A dotting mother and a lovable wife and a passionate friend ,but one thing is certain , if she decides to do anything , she will do it for sure , no one on earth can change her decision! Sometimes I astonish for her decision making power , quite capable of convincing anyone on any issue under the sun !Now her friends are listening her poetic description of Going to Shirdi --" It will be a visual treat in monsoons, there are tiny and big waterfalls erupting magically from any crevice, fog all over the road, a fresh feeling of earth just bathed, sunlight glistening through the fog and a green carpet of various hues of green in nature welcomes us, love to observe and take in the picturesque and breathtaking scenery while travelling!"
