Highlight of the Day

Just when one thought an average day - with hints of bad luck and unrequited love - was going to get worse on the way back home from work, perhaps, his wish of a highlight of the day was granted by way of summer showers, lightning-lit sky and a wonderful drive. While the majority of Bangalore would welcome the summer showers in the hope of being relieved of the unbearable heat, a few would love rain without any expectation, reason or logic. A few would love feeling the heavenly mist on the face, arms and legs, the chill down the spine, and the innocent dance of leaves as the showers pour on them; the exalting feeling, the feeling that washes away - like long settled dirt on weathered rocks - all the pain, all the misery and all the agony. Which, for that while, will cause one to forget himself, forget the pain, and forgive the whole world for all the agony it's caused - and for that while, render one in unison with the pristine mist, in unison with nature, and engross him in heavenly bliss.
