(L-R Jitesh Rakesh Nandu ME)Yesterday they arrived like first battalion of army marching in front, declaring change of season, proclaiming their arrival. I loved to see them huge and gigantic dressed in snow white with beautiful silver lining and setting Sun light dressed them in Red and Orange. That moment I missed Nikson(my DSLR) a lot.
Today morning sky was as usual, clear with scanty clouds but gradually as the day passed by it was filled with dark rainy clouds. In afternoon there was a little bit of drizzle in our part of city. But by 6:00pm atmosphere was as if its 8:30pm. It’s just like somebody fiddled with brightness and contrast. Colors around me are brighter now. And OMG it started raining. Today I was wearing half shirt and a cream color cotton jean which is my favorite, sadly today they are going to be sacrificed in muddy rain water. My woodland shoes will be drenched in rain water too.
I waited for rain to reduce its pace but it had something else in its mind, so I decided to venture my road to home(its 18-20km via core city). I geared up and plugged my headphones, played local radio station and jumped into rain. Oh the ice cold rain drops when made contact with my warm body made me shout “MUMMY…”. For a while till my body gets cold I was shouting but later I started to shiver.
However in mist of all this drama I was happy inside because this is Nikson’s first monsoon. I want to take him all places around Pune(my city) and take all the pictures which are brewing in my mind from a long time. I was waiting on one of a signal to turn green and looking to that bright red tail lights of vehicles I lost in memories and it reminded me of rains which I enjoyed with my Logical Solution’s(previous company) friends. Where we all went out in rains to get Nira(cold drink) in short break and it rained heavily. I still remember Nandu(colleague from previous company) dancing on Apdi pode song in rains. And followed by LALA’s(CEO of LS) jokes which I didn’t mind that day. Well I won’t ever forget those first rains.
Loud horns from vehicles behind me brought me back from flashback. Single was green and I went home completely drenched. Happy and planning for all my bike rides and outdoor photography.
