That's when you really wish, you hadn't given away your bicycle...

These are my random thoughts penned down in exactly the sequence of their eruption in my mind.

Everyone is out from their homes... some with their cars, some on bikes... cycles or with bus no.11. :)

It has just stopped raining after those muddy winds, but it rained quite heavily... Yeah, the untimely ones have always been like this. But frankly speaking, they give a big relief from scorching weather, at least for few hours. But they also make me think about mango, litchi and watermelon and all fruits' crops, I wish they are not ruined. How will I spend summers without them??

Now it's as cool, serene and clean as it could be. Direct drop of 13 degrees from 35°C to 23°C.

This smell of soil is like heaven, tiny droplets still falling from sky, breeze striking my face and slowly knocking my brain making me remember those unexpected rains of Aprils and Mays that I have seen till now. All the dusty houses, buildings after being washed in rain appear recently painted. Trees, grass in parks and lawns look that they have come out in this world just now or have suddenly come in their full vigour.

And that's when you really wish, you had not given away your bicycle. Why did I gave it away..what was I thinking?..may be that I am too old for riding a bicycle.

When I was kid, I used to check out the new world that appears after rains, riding my bicycle. And the striking breeze today is still like the one which I used to feel then. I am really missing those rides, that I used to have on my bicycle just after the rains.

Had I been on Prakhu's home right now, I would have ridden his bicycle.

Anyhow, I think I should not miss enjoying this weather typing this post. I can take a rickshaw ride... obviously I won't drive it. But I know that it's not gonna be like it used to be with my bicycle.

It's a whole new more colourful world out here but I miss you my "ladybird", and now I know that I was never too old to have a ride on you :(
