Its a little 'Monsoony'

I wish I could take a thousand pictures from the bus today.
Pictures of memories that flashed by looking out of the bus on this rainy day.

Of hot coffee had standing in a coffee shop. Of smiles on my face looking up to catch the rain. Of guilty joy of being drenched while everyone around you ducks for cover.
Of being part of a group of strangers under the orange gulmohor tree. Of smiling at them as if sharing a history. Of hearing the tipper tapper of rain, on the classroom window. Of gleeful childhood plays, making paper boats in the puddles near by.
Of sweet rainy kisses shared away from the watchful eye. Of singing songs which I remember only when it rains. Of looking out of steamy-streamy windows in the car.
Of halted drops on the little flower. Of my blue checked dress under my red raincoat. Of umbrellas pink and black. Of the tiny smile which I have right now.

I wish I could have a picture of them all.

A little memory of the what just flashed by.

a universal feeling

Unrequited Love!

According to wikipedia it's a universal feeling, by estimates affecting 98% of all people in their lifetime.

There is such a beautiful longing to it isn't it? It's the reason why so many movies do so well...
We really want the two protagonists to get their happily ever after or die trying. Funny isn't it!

The romanticism about it; it is always a good story. And when you hear about it's triumphs, we usually emote great joy. We like the happy endings...

Somehow even the unhappy endings seem OK, we relate to it at one plane or the other. We understand it and we accept it.

Every love story I hear about, proves to me how we are so human, we strive for personal triumph... Always ready to outshine , compete ; even kill to achieve our goals... but when we fall in love we might even be ready to lose everything we ever worked for.

That I think is the true beauty of nature! Darwinism best explanation....

Survival.... we are after all social creatures... And love is its best explanation!

P.S. Don't read too much into this. This happens after a lot of TV Dramas :)
