When I looked up...


Last few days in chennai it was rain all over... Nobody expected a july/august shower in the city... i was told by some colleagues that rain in chennai will b november or december... unexpected climate chane; but i was excited...

But the excitement is when i am in my home and no more humidity disturbing my sleep... You go outside, its not a good feeling at all... dirty roads, water clogging... its not a good feeling... even when you are riding, u need to be careful enough to miss the craters in the roads and all... when i ride i try to avoid even the other vehicles, i dont want to get a splash from the dirty water.... so you have to focus ur attention to the road only when u ride here... And when you look down and ride; yeah yeah... all dirt... hmm...

But last day was diff, i was coming home a bit early... it was not heavy rain... traffic was less... i was scanning the road and riding slowly... when i felt no more danger from water, i looked up, to have some fresh air.... i had just turned to the Lake side, man... the beautiful sky i have ever seen in chennai... cloudy still... gray strokes on a blue sky.... it was like a piece of work.... couldnt help slow down and enjoy the scene....

Hmm... couldnt take a pic of it... the traffic never slows down permanently.... Vehicles started pouring in... and i rode faster to home... but couldnt leave that picture from my mind....

Beautiful beautiful is this place around.... but u need to keep ur eyes off from the negative aspects of life to enjoy the goodness around.... Well, the recipe for happiness is simple; all you have to do is look away from the dark sides and look up to the bright sides; thatz what is called staying positive.... a lesson learned in rain...
