Rain Rain come again

Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
Little Johny wants to play
Rain, rain, go away

This is definitely not a song suited for Chennai. The climate is just too gud, starting from getting up late in the morning, hurrying up to office, feeling the drizzle on the face, managing the umbrella in the rain, getting back home fully drenched (best part ;)).

Daily on the way to office, I pass by a school and today the school was closed, probably due to rain. Just as I passed by I notice something that made me go back to my school days. A kid's (must be 1st or 2nd std) father stopped at the school gate to drop him. The gate was closed and the notice board declared the holiday. When the kid got the message, he placed his palms together(as though praying to GOD) and in quick succession moved his head left to right again and again with this mouth in a wide open smile. It triggered the child in me too..... He was so happy that he injected me the happiness too! Definitely smile and happiness are infectious!!!!

  1. Ah, Life does not have a rewind button and no way we can go back to school days. Still if we have an option to go back to our school days, we can never get back the innocence of a kid, that innocence is long lost ... :)

    Growing old is also fun yaar!!!

  2. Whether school days or not, i get a kick if it rains heavily and road gets flooded, so dear aathukarar need not go to office and all of us with P can have an extra day.

    @Chennai girl - Seriously, spending time with loved ones on a rainy(lazy) day is a gr8 pleasure...lazing around is the only thing I will do those days.
