Ode to the first rain...

Noon, very hot and humid.
Dampness to no extent,
the weather's getting annoying, they're getting frustrated.
One's an ordinary girl living in this weird land called Pune or Poona as she prefers to call it, she's old school,
one's an exotic Zulu princess in the exotic land of KwaZulu-Natal.
The Zulu princess is sitting on a rock staring at the light gray clouds which is actually the same color as the rock she's sitting on,
The girl is learning of the three monsters of electricity- Current leakage, overloading and short circuiting.
Then the clouds got too full and then drop by drop they emptied.
Those convex shaped rain drops, then thunder, the lightning.
This is the season they liked.
The pretty little Zulu princess ran, she was swift footed.
The girl ran out too, she was wearing a faded blue T-shirt and yellow pants which resemble the pants that a clown wears.
They ran, run across the wet mud, under the ecstatic trees and then in the zealous rain.
The rain, falling on their face, the width of of their smile, exactly the same, their shared one common passion ,their love for the first rain.
This reminded the girl of a few years back, when she was on the roof, laying on a mattress someone had put , in order to sun dry ( which it didn't ) that was one of the best moments of her life.
The smell of mud, the roaring thunder and the lightning which was there a moment ago, the speed of light at it's best.
The first rain, the rainy mood, just something about it, what they like about it, they can't say,
Some how they connected, from miles away,
they shared one common passion, the first rain.
For boundries, religion, ethnic groups don't seperate people and they can't. We are one, one world, quite a disunited world, but one world, passions are the common bond. We are one.
