Nidhi
What does one do when all of a sudden she is relieved of the 12-13 hours @ job to becoming a puffy, sneezing and sniffling babie with an overose of medicine...

Hmm...well to some extent I really do not have to worry because the medicines keep me groggy and sleepy...and then the rest of the time I am wondering whether I should be happy about having sometime for myself (in ANY circumstance I mean) or be sad for all the delayed flights in my life...

Just as I was about to give up on trying to keep my eyes open...someone schemed for a loadshedding...with no other option for me but to head for the terrace. And it was nice...with a pack of unfinished Kurkure and my cellphone and one of the books I love so dearly,'Three men in a boat' I was all set for my day out :P

Its nice to soak up the sun...and its even better when one is a self-confessed sunshine gurl who has been withering for want of the sunny boy ;) The time I spent on the terace was just 40 minutes, I would have spent some more but....As I finished one of the random chapters, that is whats so nice about this book...just flip to any chapter and rest and enjoy the subtle philosophy and humour...It was nice to see the white fluffy clouds against the blue sky..I could feel a lump in my throat..reminded me of my childhood..of days spent with my family..of mom and my sis...and all the fun we had in our family home....its been ages since I was so wella to have the time to spend just looking at clouds flying...munching kurkure and with a book in hand....

Therapeautic..that is what it felt like...to be in the company of the familiar...and to be in the reverie of fond memories....

And then I saw something which I had never seen before....white changing to black...and noo it does not stop here...as I was watching the clouds dissolving into black and grey...my eyes tried to make out some kind of 'dust storm' except that I did not feel any dust over me...somewhere in the horizon there was something which I ws unable to recollect or understand....and then it few right above me.....Clouds...huge clouds of dragonflys...just went on and on...never seen anything like this before...was completely amazed....it seemed as if they were trying to beat the approaching rain...racing to reach somewhere before the clouds of raindrops....

So preoccupied was I that I was almost taken by surprise by the huge raindrops that started pitter-pattering in no time :)

Here I am in a much better mood, blogging away my life and loving the feel of the cool air on my face....

This 'Sunshine gurl' loves Rain too :D

UPDATE !!

Life seems better with two fluffy pillows to lie on...internet working flawlessly...a bowl of hot maggie with green chillies as the only garnish, a little soupy too and with a lovely blog to read...

I love reading her : I chatter a lot !!

Chanced upon her blog sometime back and have continued going back to it often. She reminds me of my own experiences and love the way she writes. Enjoy ppl !!!

    Very nicely written post. I hope you are feeling good now. Its always wonderful to read books soaking in the sun. Infact, these days I make it a point to go to the soccer field (behind my house) with a book every week. This being the start of the soccer season, always has one or other game going on and I know during winters, sunshine becomes a hard-to-find commodity out here, so enjoying it till it lasts.

    Nice lazy post for those lazy days (which I don't have left anymore...)

    there is a good line in a book that says, "don't think of carrying things you can do with, always think about things you cannot do without." your blog reminded me of my "three men in a boat", mine favourite too.
    hope you are fine now and doing well without the medicines.
    a nicely written post.
    - abhas.
