My First Experience…

Hi Netizens,
This is the first time I am writing something… So I decided it must be special and interesting - for you too. That’s why I am writing about this incident, which I never even thought will feel like this… least expected, only fantasized about and when it happened, it was like a dream come true, something to recall again and again…

It was a Thursday. And when I was returning from work, it was a messy ride. After the cruel sun, the evening turned out to be naughty. I left work half an hour early and picked my friend on the way and we went my room. The weather was changing to tougher. The wind was very strong ( thanks to my friend, if I was alone, I think it will take me and bike with it !!! ) and the sand on the road started whirling around making the ride tough ( next day I read it was the effect of a cyclone on east coast, whom the weatherman calls Nargis ). Thank God, we reached home before rain started.

But, it turned out to be dark evening. No power… No TV, net, it was difficult. I was tired, hungry and blank. I think my friend also felt the same. We sat in the dark hoping things to change…

And then it happened… I heard things happen unexpectedly will be memorable… and it really was… I have read a lot about it. And it always sounded excitement and unique. But I never thought I will live it then…

It started raining all of a sudden… I always liked rain. And it being the first rain in a long time, the scent of earth was also very tempting. I went out to enjoy it and my friend joined me. It had a soothing, cool effect. And then the unexpected happened… ice… it started raining hail…wow… my first experience ever… the sound of ice hitting the iron hand rails of the staircase is still on my ears… it was a sight ice hits the stair and bursts… My friend went a little weird… He got a helmet and tried to catch one fresh… It was hurting to catch it, but still lot of fun… it’s been a while hailstorm hit Bangalore. And when it happened it was special… became my first experience…



Backbyte...

I was enjoying dosa at the coffee house when a couple of foreigners took a seat opposite to mine. They were examining the discs they bought at Planet M. Gayathri Manthra, Music for Meditation etc.. I swallowed a bite when they took the last one out... it was Shah Rukh Khan's OM SHANTI OM !!!!
