Feel the rain...

Surprisingly it rained in the afternoon. Thank you God Ji.

As it started to drizzle, Kaynaat and I went up on the terrace… to get
drenched, to have fun, to try and make the most of it.

Some 10 minutes into our impromptu rain dance, Kayu suggested that it
made more sense to walk in the rains, than to be at the terrace.

Indeed it did.

We walked merrily in the bylanes of our colony, and then on to the
main road, childishly kicking into the poodles of water every time we
saw one on the road, splashing it over each other, yelling "Yayyyyyy"
to no-one in particular but to anyone who cared to "Yayyyyyy" back.

And just as unexpectedly as the rains had come, it stopped all of a sudden too.

Just like that.

Lokesh: Baby, it has stopped raining. Chalo, let's head back.

Kayu: No, wait, maybe it will start again.

Lokesh: Hmm, ok, but not for too long, let's just walk for 10 more
minutes and if it begins to rain again, good, if not, then you and I
go back home and take shower.

Kayu: No, not 10… we will walk for 12 minutes.

Lokesh: Ha… ok, 12…

Kayu: But why is it not raining?

Lokesh: Jaan, I don't know. Do you feel the strong gush of wind
blowing across your face; the same wind has probably blown away the
clouds to some other place.

Kayu: But Papa, where?

Lokesh: Only God knows, only God controls it. I don't know if it is
raining anywhere now; maybe the clouds have gone towards your school.

Kayu: Then let's drive towards the school!

Lokesh: Ha Ha… Good idea… But what if by the time we reach your
school, God Ji chooses to send back the clouds over here.

Kayu: Yeh Bhagwan bhi kitna ghumaata hai na…

Lokesh: Ha Ha Ha… More than you know baby… More than you know…
