My rainy day realizations..

Yesterday was a great day... it rained cats, dogs,giraffes,apes and every other thing under the sun.... big time.. started from office at the usal 6.45 ..then the following events unfolded..

Had to close all the windows in the cab as it started raining big time and i was sweating my every liquid out- Realization - Rains are best, when its outside the house, and whn you are inside it

Cab driver nearly ran into a pit- Realization - parents prayers are always strong
The one hour drive took 2hrs yesterday - Realization - leave office early when cloudy

The traffic stopped 2kms from my house - Realization - traffic follows the same policy everywhere in the world, when it rains - it just stops

The water on the roads was knee deep- Realization -Its not the same feeling when the body gets wet by rain and when the shoes get wet.. especially leather shoes-

Walked 2Kms to home-Realization-2Kms look 20 Kms in pouring rain,no umbrella,knee deep water and when drainage joins the rain water

Reached home,found the hall and kitchen sunk in water from balcony - Realization-Heavy rain doesnt distinguish between roads or kitchen, neither does traffic

2hrs of massive cleaning exercise with roomate- Realization- When in need...... every man cleans
Dinner time, saw 7 chappatis and half boiled dal and a note by the maid "Gas cylinder over, cooked only this much"and we are 4 guys in the house-Realization - The depth and length of hunger is always indirectly proportional to the quantity and quality of the food
Drinking water was not deliverd due to rain - Realizaton - 2 chappatis, half boiled dal and half glass of water at times can be the best dinner the world has ever provided
Roomate lost his phone-iPhone on the road,on his way to the house -Realization- That bugger will never learn.
