SOAKED!!

4th July ..
It has rained the whole day today. Constant showers from the skies kept everything clean. It was like today i had a heightened sense of color. Everything looked so fresh! There was every type of green i could imagine everywhere.

It was the perfect day for a picnic. Our wishes on Friday for a superb weather on Saturday for our picnic were granted. Sometimes all things don't have to go as planned. Although our visit to a certain waterfall bombed completely, it was a great experience! We reached the cloud-kissed hills that harbored the Pandavkada waterfalls quite early only to find out that its closed in the monsoons due to landslides. :( But our enthusiasm and readiness to try new things didn't die down. We kept walking in the rain and enjoyed every bit of it! Stone-made walls, wired fences, and large puddles of water were enough to bring out the child in each one of us... :) We climbed, splashed water, ran behind each other, cracked reaaaaaaallly pathetic jokes, laughed like mad...basically we went just plain nuts with the weather! ;)

I realized for the first time that i actually like getting wet in the rains..the raindrops touching my face every time i looked up, soaking my hair and trickling down my neck. When the rain caught momentum we were leaving. We were making a mistake leaving the pretty weather to be enjoyed by some other enthusiasts, only to be joined by the rains on the journey towards our friend's house.

Hot black lemon tea, pani puri, samosas, moong dosa, and the all time favorite Maggi kept the gastric juices in our stomachs some company. The picnic ended with some friends bidding an early goodbye and lazy conversations with the rest of us.

Fun, leg-pulling, enthusiasm, innovation, boldness didn't let our resolve to have a good day die. Really, what you plan, the place, doesn't matter as much as the people with who you are. Soaked I am with the rains, and every drop carries fulfillment!
