A Walk in the Rains

One fine evening, i was headed home after a hectic day at work. It was raining heavily... no.. wait a minute, it was .......pouring!!!
So there i was... walking by myself.... right outside one of the busiest places on this earth- Andheri Station- at my own pace, listening to radio, with a flowery print umbrella trying its best to save me from the lashin water drops, a partially wet paper bag carrying my staple snack- Chicken Mc Grill (with cheese) -.. and coke..... jumping across the puddles... listening to Dil hai Chota Sa... bouncing down the crowded street to my home, happy.. 'just like dat'.... thinking that this is the perfect end to my day... nothing could ruin my life where my boss and colleagues loved me, roomies were like a family and i had music to define my life and its moments. (family and friends not to get offended, plz..... ur role goes without saying :D)
But i was wrong. Cause right then came along a giant 'khadoos lal dabba' and splashed all the muck in the world on probably the only truly happy soul on S V Road!! . Snapped me right out of my dreamworld! I had to dive to save myself from the most dangeous things on our roads- an autorickshaw!!
And you won't believe me..... that was exactly the same instant that Dil Hai Chota Sa stopped playing... n the lady with the seductive voice started yapping about life and solitude and missing links ..... DAMN!!!!
need i go on?
