I was riding back home after a day full of great events.I was passing down the road with fellow minded comrades who like me spent another semi-nightout. Suddenly flower petals in the form of rain started to pour in. I was in the mid of a 4 km by pass with green pastures on both sides of the road. Not a place where I can stand for a shelter. I was stuck for a moment in dilemma !!!!! decided to ride on with an aspiration to decode the intention of the almighty. Slowed down my pace enjoying the rain which by then started to kiss my whole body. By the time I crossed the intermediate ring road I was overwhelmed by the LOVE Signs evident all over my body.I saw people standing in bit and pieces under whatever shelter they can grab. Standing alone in a crowded world. A thought pour in my mind should I join them in the party with the showers graduated to drizzling by that time. Suddenly a flash sparked in my mind …… an image of a teenage boy enjoying the blessing of rain god with his fellow friends playing football ,,,,,,,,, it was me ,,,,,,, I was surprised to watch the vivid picture. I felt nostalgic. Within a fraction of a second I decide to subscribe to the thought. A thought to live my nostalgic feeling again .Bid farewell to people standing in different shelters. Embarked on my journey to reach home. The roads by then became springs trying to transform to canals.I steered my bike like a water scooter ……… wow it was feeling I was riding on the shallow waters of Bhaga or Colva .Rain drops was craking on my helmet screen making it difficult to ride. I unclaped the screen to visulaise the world in the naked eye only to discover the passion of God trying to touch my cheeks and lips. A sparking feeling reeled down my spine with an energetic vigor. I was overwhelmed to taste the purity of life in the form of minute droplets. Handfull of cars and bikes were being rowed down the road.
I can see the orchesta of the GOD VARUN by that time in front of me .The drive was very risky with the tunes of the symphony repeatedly attacking my eyes. Still unfazed or being hypnotized by the eternal fashion show I went on , struggling to keep myself balanced in the line.As the saying goes “ Fortune favours the Brave “ or taking pity on our situation , the Bangalore Traffic Police was giving handful of bikers like me a free ride at each and every signal.I was moving down the road with my senses needing no direction to cover the same usual route.I was feeling like a free flow bird while realizing the crazy act I was doing. It feels so good !!!!!!! so blessed !!!!! to share the rain droplets in such a fashion. Tons of nostalgic thoughts started to impregnate my mind , fabricating their thoughts in an unusual manner. Felt if there is a heavenly feeling somewhere its is here……. and …..now this is the second to cherish….. no need to dip in the Holy Manasorovar or KumbhMela ,, we can have our salvation right here only in this materialist world ……
I opened the gate to park my bike…… A feeling flowing all through my blood . A feeling of your own desire enjoyed in a divine way…..
Oh ! God !!!!! Thank you so much for such kindness to re-live my childhood days for sometime…… A Journey of 20 years being re-lived in 30 Minutes ………………..
