Rains

Yes... I know I haven't really written anything for a very long time. My cousins had come visiting and I was busy hanging out with them and taking their case occasionally. But it was quite nice. We took a trip to Shirdi. And also a trip to Jiggs Kalra at Phoenix Mills (God I love that place!) The best part about the entire meal? The Paan shot at the end.
Anyway, the first rains have finally arrived in Mumbai. Reminds me of this poem I wrote quite sometime back. I guess... I'll put it up now. I hope you like it.

Its titled "The Tempest":

The rain, sinister and callous, surged

The clouds, laden and ominous, poured

The beads, chaste and sheer, fell

From the night firmament towards hell

They cleansed the terrain, the foliage

As if washing away the transgressions and rage

From the arena of contemporary mankind

To ameliorate our digression from the redundant grind

The divinity, showing its wrath

At the narcissistic verve, the soul sought

The thunder, vociferous and antagonistic

The lightning, assailing and frenetic

Striking the hapless milieu

A providence which was not due

The riotous shower showered ceaselessly

As it changed its tenor to benign and kindly

It then, caressed the earth, with an ardour

That was bereft of its bygone gleam of fervour

And as the storm reckoned to a tranquil

I drifted into another world by my window sill

I just love the smell after the first rains.

Waiting to see more of the Monsoons,

xoxo
