Rain on the rooftop

Plethora of dark clouds & the freezy wind,
The dancing leaves, the tweeting birds,
The pricking drops of rain 
And the mind travelling back
With rain down the memory lane...

The barren rooftop, the past chapters &
Essence of a withered flower
The collage of raindrops,
And the forbidden memories to shower

The croaking frogs & the singing birds
Adorn the petrichor of rain, 
While you count the battering raindrops,
And envisage the bygone moments, 
The drops of rain mix with each other
And create a shining vistas on the rooftop, 
For a new beginning without any pain,
Rain washes all your past agonies,
And you live your life again...

How I wonder what you are ?

The blinking stars neighbouring the moon are our greatest friends condoling the concealed sorrows of our day to day life. If you are suffering from depression or loneliness, reach your rooftop in a full moon night or lie down in a lonely sea beach engulfed with the bright rays of moon and watch towards the twinkling stars far away. Close your eyes for a while and think about the person you are missing in your life and then open your eyes and stare at the stars miles away. The flickering stars, as if whispering to your ears about the whereabouts of your love and speaking to your heart that all is well. Just the way, the moon alone keeps shining everynight besieged by the glimmering stars signifying the shimmering hopes needed for our survival in this world, we need to smile in our small journey of life creating a sky with millions of stars glinting optimism inspite of the flowing sorrows. You need a big heart to be a well wisher for a person who walked away from you. But the

Nature births raindrops so that our souls can grow. Rain is the greatest therapy of our mind and soul.

Rain is the greatest gift of God which creates a poetry in our soul and a perfect lullaby to put away all frustrations and sleep well in peace . The continuous rhythm and melody of pitter patter drops of rain perhaps produces a sound therapy which suppresses all our senses and produces a comfort level by removing all the disturbing thoughts from our mind, bringing the much necessary drowsiness which helps us to sleep well with a cool mind. The constant croaking of frogs throughout the rainy night just helps to maintain the faded rhythm of noise of the diminishing rain drops and maintains the continuity of the soothing melody of rain inside our brain.  Another best way to remove your depression is to get drenched in rain. If you are surviving with a tired soul and with too many pains of life, just feel the rain and the best way to feel the rain is by getting wet with the cold raindrops. The splattering raindrops on your eyes, nose and face will remove all sha

That first drop of rain on my eyelid at Mussoorie.

Image
Cool breeze blowing in a dark, cloudy, stormy Mussoorie evening and I stare at the sky above the mountains to see the birds flying back home with their usual chirping. Suddenly a drop of rain falls into my eyelid and creates a hazy vision of Mussoorie Mall road. And then a sudden glimpse of someone after 30 years !!!!  Before I could take another look at her,  the downpour and the reflections on the rainy streets drove me back to the flashbacks of waiting outside the school gate in those rainy afternoons, covering my face beneath an umbrella after school hours to get a sight of her. We never had the scope to express our love so easily like we do today through sms or messengers. The prolonged wait at the bus shelter after school hours, the weekend opportunity to give her the reply through hand written letters and getting a new reply after a week, few magical touches of her fingers, getting her rare glimpse from the lonely roof top or her sudden glance through window panes we
