RAIN.
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of the word rain? A romantic walk? A cup of hot coffee and a novel in your hand? Or some good music and the rain? Well, for me its a romantic walk. Some people hate the sight of rain. They think the whole atmosphere gets very damp. They have their point justified to an extent. Afterall, this world is full of people having different opinions. Right?
There was just this one time in my life when i felt totally disgusted at the sight of rain. I was in school then. Maybe in my 7th or 8th std. And it was pouring like cats and dogs in Calicut (a place in Kerala) Me and my younger sister were standing at the bus stop, awaiting the school bus. Kerala is flooded during rainy seasons. and believe it or not half the year we had holidays becuase of the rain and some local strikes. Coming back to the disgusting factor about rains, we were standing at the bus stop and a vehicle splashed tons of water on us. Unfortunately we had worn the white uniform (it must have been one of the saturdays)
jesus! i was so frustrated.
but that was just once. after that incident i sweared on god that i would never ever step out of the house when its raining. especially if i have some good clothes on.
many a times, i gaze at the sky when its cloudy. and many a times it disapoints me when it does not rain :(
rain that comes unannounced is fun. especially when you are stuck some where and it rains. i know some find it irritating though. when we think it's going to rain it never does and its always the opposite.
the first pour of the monsoon season is amazing. the smell of the damp soil and the pleasent breeze that touches your face gently. its one of the most replenishing feelings.
another incident i recall is having garam garam chai with a few friends in the college canteen and gazing at the rain outside. that was one of the touching moments beacuse that was when we all sweared that we would be together till the end what so ever happens
i find artifitial rain in hindi movies and the hero and heroine dancing. its sometimes undigestable.(luckily i have got an constipation so far ;) )
there is a lot more to describe about rain. but not at the cosst of exagerating it. everyone has their own point of view of describing it. this was just a glimpse of mine. :)
adios!
About Me
- Prarthana Nargundkar
- Welcome to Prarthana Nargundkar"s world of photography.A picture is worth thousand words. It captures memories, emotions, people and Life in a snapshot to look back and rewind memories.Often while traveling with a camera I arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts.My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph. Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man. It is photography itself that creates the illusion of innocence. Its ironies of frozen narrative lend to its subjects an apparent unawareness that they will change or die. It is the future they are innocent of. Fifty years on we look at them with the godly knowledge of how they turne dout after all - who they married, the date of their death - with no thought for who will one day be holding photographs of us.
