of mumbai ki baaarish, bike and coffee!

Rainy season used to be my favourite one. I like to get drenched when there are mild showers of rain, i like the pleasant aroma of soil after first rain of season, i like the occasional visit of rainbow in the sky after a drizzle in some fine evening and moreover all i like to look at the waterfall which is visible from my roof top, when it rains. But ever since i shifted to mumbai rain is no more fun. Its not that the quantity that matters but its the time. Its endless here!

Everytime it rains heavily routine life in mumbai get disturbed. Traffic gets affected badly and roads start flowing as if they were rivers in their previous life. Usually on such days i prefer not to leave campus but today i had a tryst with Rain. I was having an appoinment to get my bike serviced and i was not willing to postpone this work due to rains or anything else. Finally i left the campus.

Today, driving was altogether a different experience. The same road which is supposed to be heavily crowded at the morning office hours was deserted but that does not mean that it was an easy task to drive. Roads were flooded in many low-lying areas and heavy rain fall reduced visibility on raods. To be frank, driving in such conditions is never-to-do experiment but if you are crazy for adventure then this one is try-atleast-once experiment.

By the afternoon my bike was ready. I could have easily came back to my room and spend rest of the day whatever way i wished to but i prefer to go for a long drive. And for me it was great time driving out there!

Evening was full of surprise for me. I got an opportunity to meet some of my old friends. Having coffee with them and remembering great-old-days was a perfect end to a perfect day.

wallet!

This morning was a terrible morning for me. I wake up early in the morning since i was suppose to be at the airport to receive some of my friends. After getting ready i was searching for my wallet and it was not there. I searched it everywhere in my room, everywhere i went yesterday and finally confirmed to myself that i lost it!

While i was driving to the airport, i was thinking about the things i lost along with it. And ya indeed there were many things, many important things. My driving licence, 2/3 debit cards, my id card, PUC certificate of my bike, few contact numbers for which i didnt had any backup and last but not the least, some amount of money (not sure how much!). One thing was sure, lot of time and efforts were going to be needed to recover many of these things.

Infact, that is how my life had been since last few days! Just missing the things here and there. I lost many things, broke many things and no matter how careful i was while doing my routine work i was just missing it. Something was missing in life and even though i know what, i was not able to make it write. Things were missing out of my hand and more i tried to hold them back it was turning into disaster for me!

But after a terrible start it turned out to be a happy day for me. Finally in the evening, i found my wallet hidding below some scattered things on my table. My first reaction was, 'Ohh sweety, there you are!' This was first time ever i was so glad looking at my wallet.

I hope that now the curse is broken and i will not be missing things anymore!
