The first rain of the year

Okay yesterday we had the first rain of the year. The rains started late in the  evening, in the morning the sky was clear and blue and the weather was beautiful and windy, the kind which makes you want to stand with your arms open and hope that the wind just takes you along with it .
So the rain was the perfect end to a perfect day. But the reason this rain was so special for me was because this was the first time I enjoyed the rain in the true sense of it or rather in a new way than usual. Back at home when it started raining I would sit on a comfortable bean bag in my balcony with something warm and read a favourite book, but yesterday and moreover today I experienced rain on a more personal level and I would say these were moments of divine discovery. Yesterday I was out with friends and today I went on a long walk with myself and I must say it was the later experience which I enjoyed more. Things which I have learnt about myself in these two days- I love long solitary walks in rain, I love the way ordinary, everyday things look so different and clean when they are wet cause of  raindrops,  I love the sound of raindrops falling on my umbrella, I love it when my umbrella collides with that of a random person when we are trying to pass through a small footpath and the apologetic and understanding smiles which we give each other after that, I love the feeling of satisfaction  which I get when I get in a sheltered place and close the umbrella behind me, I love it when I come back and wash the dirt off my feet and the feeling as if the rain has washed off all my sins and worries.
And most of all I love the way everything becomes more poetic and lyrical.

Percy jackson and the lighting theif

Today, i watched the movie Percy Jackson & the lighting thief it was very nice . I found it very entertaining .the thing which i loved about the movie was the perfect balance between fiction & reality. also the story line was very refreshing and innovative. Also i'm very interested in Greek mythologial characters that too was a great plus point in the movie.

First fight with room mate

So it is generally accepted fact that it takes a lot to set me off, I mean people give examples of my patience, seriously they do, it is no exaggeration. But now enough is enough, so I had a fight with my room mate, well to be exact it was not really a fight, I shouted and she just walked out not that much exchange of words and stuff, but one gets the point it was a disagreement. So now there this kind of cold war kind of thing going on between us, where we are giving each other a cold shoulder, now I do know that I may have overreacted a bit but my initial reaction was completely justified. What is done is done, now it is time to move on, but the point of ego comes into play who is going to make the first contact, who is going to be the first one to bow down and talk? And frankly I don't mind being the first one at all.

The Week

This probably has been one of the most uneventful weeks of this year. Nothing interesting has happened, it is not that life has been monotonous, but nothing happened worth blogging about. Writing has always been a kind of stress reliever for me, but this week has been so stress free for me that I don't need a stress reliever. But when I look back the fact that the week was so stress free makes it one of the important week of the year, its importance stems from the fact that it was so uneventful that the bareness of this week made it eventful.
