Kolkata is all drenched since yesterday. Its been raining profusely... although it is quite a hassle for the office goers, but I simply enjoy monsoon. Just day before yesterday I met this lady at the Starmark outlet, she told me that she has been living in Manchester for last 15 years and she misses Kolkata so much. I asked her what does she miss, she named two things - 1. Durga Puja and 2. Monsoon and the Water logged City. She was so positive about this.... you see that's the beauty of the city. The drainage system is never improved and life continues as ever.
Some pessimist soul would comment that it is a luxury if you appreciate monsoon, because probably they think one who does not have to go out for work, one who can sit beside the window and look outside with a poetic approach has the luxury of appreciating and glorifying this weather.
But guys I have been a working woman once and have been quite active in going to office in this weather too. It has all been a wonderful experience.
You see, it is all in your mindset... it is the way how you look into the matter, and as they say "Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder".
Everything has its own beauty and one must enjoy, appreciate and live every bit of it. Otherwise life would have been such a drab journey to traverse.
Instead of counting the potholes in the city, you can count the innumerable joyful moments that can make your life as serene as heaven...
One little advice - PLEASE DON'T WAIT FOR ANY BIG MOMENT TO COME TO CELEBRATE, LIVE EVERY LITTLE MOMENT, CELEBRATE THEM BECAUSE HAPPINESS LIES IN THESE TRIVIALITIES... JUST TO MAKE YOUR LIFE A TRUE EVENT.
Thanks for being there
Bye for now

Indeed this piece of your thought moved me! I even love the rain and drenching in rain is my most favorite part of it....We should always appreciate the surroundings and always be content with what nature had provided us :)....
