rain..

yesterday it rained in delhi.....
here it feels like a blessing from the heavens...as long back as i can remember, after those incredibly long months of scorching heat...first drops of rain have a mesmerizing effect on barbequed souls of delhi!!
- really summers are actually that unrelenting over here..well for that matter so are the winters...

but its just that even after acting as human specimens for nature's extremities..we people( i mean dilli -wallas) are never ever prepared for the extreme heat and cold that alternate each year..
year after year each one of us complians with such preserved innocence that only an initail shock can deserve....
"i can't take this heat"(when the person has taken and lived in this heat all their life!)...

on a different note-
for that matter -are we ever prepared for anything at all...or are we always prepared??
what is the drawing line between being prepared and not....well, once its here its here...
whatever is, it is...and whatever is not, it is not....i guess thats all it takes to accept the reality.
