Those who "know" me know that i love the rain....only when am at home staring at it. I was almost sure i was the only girl on Earth who did not think getting wet in the rain was romantic. But then i bumped into Dipika. So i thought, there might be more people out there who share my hatred for a rain bath.
This one is for those who "detest" the rain and absolutely dread the idea of unannounced rain showers. It is for people like me who have a special dictionary where:
Drizzle = Rain
Rain = Raining cats and dogs
Raining cats and dogs = Cloud burst
Here are some things i learned last evening when the rain god (if there is one) decided to surprise us all:
1) No matter how much you curse the rain god (if there is one) it is not going to help. Instead, you might end up making him angrier.
2) Always have a friend by your side who would trust you with her stole when the rain god (if there is one) decides to take out his frustration on the human kind.
3) Taking shelter under a tree does not help because instead of raindrops you'll get rain blobs (a word i use to define gigantic raindrops), and the whole purpose would be lost.
4) Keep walking because you might end up finding a bus stop to rescue you from the rain.
5) While waiting for an auto, stand in light so that the autowala can actually see you.
6) Do not be too excited if you spot an empty auto, because it would not stop for you.
7) Even if the autowala stops, he would not want to go where you want to go.
8) Stand near a traffic signal. The autowalas will HAVE to stop and you'll have more than one auto to choose from.
9) No matter how sure you are that the rain has stopped, do not remove your protective cover because some lunatic goon is sure to whoosh by you, drenching you in god knows what!
10) Finally, remember.....it is not over till you reach home.

I am not a anti-rain guy as you know...but i detest walking getting wet intentionally in rain. So much of it made sense to me :)
But still u went a bit too harsh on the rain :( . watching the rain while yourself in the covers is really fun!
