Mumbai monsoon

when thunder rocks the earth,
when lighting flashes the sky,
when rain drops drench the body,
we know he is here...the monsoon.

Its past midnite and i can feel the coolness of wind through my room window..1st rain has always been a subject of my greatest facinations..it brings with it a whole new sensation..

the smell of first rain
spreading the aroma of a new born earth,
the sight of lightning stokes
unleashing the fury of mother nature,
the roaring thunder storms
beckoning the onset of a new season,
the touch of droplets on the skin
soothing the craving for monsoon...

It is my first monsoon in mumbai and third away from home...
