THE DAY IT RAINNED

Lovely friday evening ......the rain has almost drenched my parched soul..i have soaked it all .....
Walking out of the office is always a great feeling.Getting into it is something ....i hate to describe.Got into a auto ,convinced him for a total of 20 bucks ....got down and got into another one.I am blankly looking around ,waiting for the autowallah to load his maximum capacity .I am thinking as well ,as i always do .Voidly staring at the traffic signal turn from red to green ,vice-versa.The autowallah is shouting at the top of his voice ....."LV PRASAD"....understand his frustration ..it is already 20 minutes ..still no one.Even i am getting a little impatient.My fiance just called me up ."Where are you,i am already home"..he sounded a little impatient .Finally i speak up ..."Bhaiyya chaliye bhi ..kitna time wait karoge".... no reply ...he is half inside and half outside the auto .....he is busy coaxing people to board his auto ..""ma'am idhar ,LV PRASAD.Ray of hope within 5 minutes ...it is almost ready to go.
Our "UDHAN KAHTOLA" as i call it ,swerves past cabs ,cars and all others of its own kind.I am sitting beside the open door ,as i always do whether it is a train ,bus or anything else,i just love to look outside .And today i am loving it more and more .The cold wind is thumping on my face ,the lights are rushing past me ........the drizzle is falling on my face .Whoa i just love the feeling.

I got down ...crossed the road ..took another auto .....and got down straight at madhapur.Desperately crossed the road ... rushed up the staircase of the pink coloured building and banged the door ...i often do that ,and i swear that the, feeling of doing that never dies ,it never gets boring and monotonous ,the face that reveals itself is the most soothing and most tolerant face on the earth .It smiles ,and the smile itself says it all ,that whatever you do ....whatever you are ..you are always welcome ...it is a smile of acceptance .
We go downstairs and i jump into my place in the car and head for KFC .

We have our food ,go for a chai and head back home .A wonderful evening.A wonderful friend.I wonder why we need so much in life .After all the best things in life are free only....
Love
