Previously I had only seen results of rainy day on TV. But , that day I really did experience how nice and crazy it is to get caught to couple of hours of a rowdy rain. Personally, it was a a super experience to me. So here is the story.I was on my way back home after tennis practices from St. Peter's College. The time was exactly 5.10 pm. I was walking down the streets of Nugegoda as the sky was getting darker. I felt that I'll have to have a great bath before I go home. And then I did. It started to rain very very hard in no time. So, I ran for shelter. There was a shop which was on repair, about 10 people hurried close to it. The rain was so windy that, some of them even were trying to cover their whole body with their umbrella under that shelf. Well, what I meant was, I was getting a bath under the shelf. My legs were shivering and my bag was also wet. At about 5.48pm, I could hardly identify the pavements, the road was like a river. I felt sorry for those who were doing little businesses in the pavements (people who were selling CD's, hair band, newspapers, etc.). Well, they were trying to protect what ever they have to live the next day of their lives.
At about 6.32pm the rain stopped, infact slowed down a little. So, I decided to go to the bus stand, or else I won't be able to go home for few more hours.
Well, the real fun started then. it was really a hard task to walk for 100 meters without stepping into a sewer. So many people were shouting at cars, buses and trucks to slow down, because the waves generated by them were making the people go crazy. Really fun.

Some how, when I reached the halt there was no buses. And one love-couple was having a cold-icy fight with each other in this windy rain under one umbrella. It was the most funny scene I saw in that day. I even took a picture of them. That is what you see in this article.
Suddenly one bus arrived. I just flew to it. And the driver was staring at me. Cuz' I was so wet that he pretended not to take me to the bus. Somehow, all in all, after about 15 minutes I could reach home.
What a day!
That night I thought how worst would it be to face a storm or hurricane. Isn't it?
Would it be more fun than this?

Nice story... It's so live and it felt like as if i am experiencing the situation as i read. If you think of such a situation as 'fun' i am sure you can find a hurricane or a worst storm as fun too. Because fun depends on how you look at things and you can find fun in places you'll never expect fun to be...
All of these bcoz of "Love is blind and deaf".
Now u'll say "Lovers are blind and deaf not Love".
But I believe in da first case.
I knew that you are blind of love on the first day I spoke to you.
But, I can't give you my eyes.
Being blind is better than seeing world as a faddist...
That is absolutely right!
And,
That is the best sentence you have ever spoken.
Certainly it is a platinum Quote.

I hate sun shine, it makes you feel so hot(pun not intended). Rather rain is something that I love. Infact I wish that it rained everyday, unceasingly. And yeah I love to get drenched in rain, because I have done it many times.(Oh no not an acid rain).
Any way nice story. One thing I wanna add. Can you differentiate between love and attraction. Because most people confuse love with (physical) attraction.
If you say that love should not be concerned with external looks, consider this situation. A person of the oppositte sex just does not look nice(some may even call him/her ugly). But he/she is the best person, very nice, understanding and is not willing to leave you no matter what.
Can you love that person whole heartedly than you would do to an extremely attractive person.I know that this should not happen, but the truth is that this really happens in the real world. So isn't love all about physical beauty, all of those emotional feelings are there to complement the attraction based on physical beauty.
I am confused.
