Let me have an Umbrella or all the Rains shower on me!

The platform under rains

• The station under the shower

  A man on the raw platforms in a countryside

  The post monsoon rains had been started in the south of the subcontinent then.I was waiting for the morning train.It was started slightly showering from the early morning and then it was coming more dense;besides,the train was late for more than half an hour ...my platforms were opened the eyes to the sky ;impatience grew within myself and the rain was also growing ...my train was delayed but a goods wagon covering the entire platform entered the station with its penetrating headlights that spread lights on the wet rails and platform, adding more impatience to me as I would like to reach the capital as early as possible; now the whistling  wagon added more echoes to the natural sounds of the rain that was howling away with the sizzling winds from the lakes nearby , it was quite chilling! thus the wagon left the station;

  When that goods left and the wait for the passenger continued for awhile but that was not yet around near and adding more dullness to the wait, another goods had approached the next platform within the surfing veils of the white shower that had transformed the space into a mysterious backdrop!

  Passengers fed up

  The delayed passenger train and the unexpected goods trains under the heavy rains made the waiting minority more fed up.So they started to turn back from the platforms and decided to leave the station and stop that day's journey . But still then I had not decided to deviate from my journey and meanwhile the announcement was out from the station speaker that the passenger was arriving!
  

   Now the rains were almost finished and the platforms were completely washed away by the post monsoon!I thanked my saffron umbrella that had  kept me waiting at the country railway station for that much of time!

A Wild Midsummer

• Midsummers are  crucial to people who are capable of enjoying midsummers in the form of vacations; teachers and students are the main beneficiaries of summer vacations in India.Besides ,the period is both hot and vibrant as far as the climatic conditions are concerned; even under the hot sun people engage in leisure and leisurely activities  so as to fulfill their vacation-time.

The core part of this time is earmarked by the sweaty dusks when most of the grownups choose to  relax from the tiresome naps of the afternoon.This kind of relaxation most often does have  strong emotional impacts on individual affinity and passion towards recreating caressing each other in  the art of making materialistic love in any social strata of life.
