Bah. Then Aah!

I prayed that it would rain all night so-that-the- trains- would-stop-so-I-could-go-back-home-and-do-some-shopping-for-my-trip. Part of my prayer was heard. It did rain all night but unfortunately, the trains were on time - not a minute late, not a minute early. Bah. All plans down the drain with the rain water.

The walk from Churchgate to office made up for my dreary mood though. It rained. And it poured! I smiled with glee all the way to work. This is what bliss is! If I wasn't in my handwoven cotton kurta, I would have got more soaked than I did. What fun to see people struggling with their umbrellas, when all they had to do was to walk with the wind and they'd be fine. Aah! By the time I reached the steps of the office, the brolly was redundant, I was drenched and all was right with the world.

What a wonderful way to begin the week! (Let's hope this optimism lasts!)
