Saree, sensuous and elegant. The first thoughts that come to my mind.

 

I fell in love all over again, with the Saree. The lady in the movie looked divine in a saree. Absolutely smashing.  I became nostalgic.

 

It was last year. Now, don’t you ask me the date. She asked me to come to her cousin’s reception. She would be wearing a saree. I had been waiting to see her in a saree. I had always seen her only in Salwars and jeans and I always felt that she looked smashing in salwars.

 

My parents were here and I could not tell them where I was going so late in the night. I managed to lie. I knew they dint buy my lies. They knew what I was upto, and they were sweet enough to ignore my lies. But, they weren’t so sweet as to not tease me.

 

I had always heard from her, the catcalls, the whistles, the compliments she got when she wore a saree. I was so looking forward to seeing her.

 

I dressed up, quite decently for my usual dressing. I revved up and set out to meet her.

I reached the destination. Called her up. She said she had be down in a moment. She came down.

 

Blood rushed through my body. My heart fluttered. I was sure that everyone could hear my heart beating faster.  I had seen many a lady dressed in sarees. But, never one like this. She scorched the place. Adjectives were furiously fighting in my mind to place her. Elegant, sensuous, striking, lovely. These are but the few adjectives I used to describe her that day.

 

I was in love with her more than ever.

 

The saree seems to have been woven for her. It looked as if the saree was happy to drape and hug her. It seemed the saree was in love with her.

Lessons learnt the hard way- I

Intelligence is not a sure way to success, even in abundance. Awareness, elaborate planning, alacrity, and patience matter equally if not more.

Such a flirt!

Rains. Isme hai kuch baat! The winds laden with refreshing cold.

It was starting to rain. The first downpour of the year, accosted by heavy gusts of winds. Winds filled with lust for the rains, to soak in as many drops as possible.

He came into the patio, a steaming cup of coffee in hand, music in his ears. He was watching the rain, the people, their reaction to a sudden downpour. The streets were empty, people scurrying to get shelter.

A lone figure walking on the road, struggling to hold the umbrella. The wind blew away the umbrella a little. He could see her face, through her strewn hair. Her large innocent eyes speaking determination, her wet glistening lips pursed in anticipation. She was fighting the wind and the rain. He could see rain drops sliding down her neck onto her back. Soaking her wet. The lips adorned with droplets. The drops forming a string on her neck.

Mystically beautiful, he thought from whatever glimpses he could steal of her.

The wind was unrelenting pounding the girl with all its might. The girl valiantly fighting to gain control. There was playfulness and romanticism all around the girl. The wind was playing hide and seek with her. Everytime he caught a glimpse of her, his heart would soar. She could see him from the corner of her eyes. She understood his intent.

He was silently rooting for the wind. Hoping it would blow away the umbrella and he can see the pristine beauty.

Suddenly the wind stalled. The girl regained control of the umbrella. She was pleasantly happy with the ambience around her. The playfulness got to her. She peeped gladly at the sudden change in winds.

He saw her big wet eyes, they were lovely. Rain drops on her eye lashes. Her skin peppered with the clinging rain drops.

Their eyes met. She smiled knowingly. He smiled at her too.

 He was in love. But it was different. He did not want to know her, talk to her, or do anything about it. The beauty was in the moment and he chose to revel in the moment. Revel in the love for the girl, the nature, life, the romance of rains.

 Life is such a flirt!

Godavari

Watched Godavari yesterday. Adorable lead pair. I loved the lead lady in the movie. Sometimes hot, sometimes cold. Needless to say who she reminds me of. :D
