Monsoon List
This is my list of about the monsoon,
I LOVE -
1 ) Catching the drops on my tongue.
2 ) Driving thru puddles and watching the arc of water, as pedestrians cower and cringe.
3 ) Seeing drops of oil on the road and the rainbow colours they make.
4 ) Pile of Cow / Dog crap on the pavement, and how it gets all runny and spotted with raindrops.
5 ) When the umbrella gets inverted in a strong gust.
6 ) Gum boots
7 ) Feeling the gush on my umbrella beneath a rooftop drain pipe.
8 ) The first cough and cold of the season that goes around to everybody within the first 2 weeks.
9 ) People on bikes wearing their raincoats frontside back.
10 ) The first blades of new grass that pop up everywhere.
11 ) Deep grey thunder clouds.
12 ) Hot tea in a shanty while rain water drips thru the corrugated iron roof into the chai.
13 ) Women who get soaked in the rain trying to prevent their clothes from sticking to them, esp at the tits and butt.
14 ) When a strong head-on wind blows a womans salwar kameez tightly to her body, esp at the crotch and thighs.
15 ) Listening to the rain during a power cut.
16 ) Trucks and cars with one headlamp on the blink.
17 ) The smell of washed jeans that just wont dry.
18 ) Getting wet and cold, then coming home and having a hot bath and into dry clothes.
19 ) Sharing an umbrella with your sweetheart as you secretly snuggle up close with each other.
20 ) Wet street dogs who look so pathetic and cute at the same time.
21 ) Hot and Fresh mirchi / aloo bajjis.
22 ) Rainbows in the sky ( most commonly seen across the lake )
23 ) Crow picking at a dead, wet and gamey rat's body.
24 ) Watching street kids splash around.
25 ) Sunshine and rain at the same time !
