Returning home soaking wet after winning a football match we should have lost since we were playing with most of the regulars banned for poor academic performance.
Continuing the Founder's display as the lights blew, one by one, in the summer storm.
Riding an auto through the gates of a green Pune University through the drizzle of the monsoon.
Stuck in the middle of nowhere in a downpour with darkness upon us, singing.
Sprinting up to Cheena Peak in a drizzle stopping only to pull leeches off our ankles.
Spending an hour in a village home not understanding a word of the conversation, invited in from the pouring rain.
Wandering through the Himachal hills, splashing each other by jumping in the puddles, not wanting to get home.
Discarding umbrellas and walking barefoot through paddy fields looking for frogs and mushrooms.
Is it any wonder that I love the rain so?

Scrambling for higher ground in the middle of the night as the swollen Alaknanda washed the sand away from under our tents.

Rains bring back so many memories for all of us. Only wish the good memories lasted forever..

The moments sadly pass us by, but for me, these memories will be there forever.
None of those boring things that you have mentioned... Here is the exciting thing about the rain - sitting on the balcony, with a hot steaming coffee, sipping, on a swing - gently swaying, with the spray slight catching you on one end, in the afternoon, when most are inside, hear the silence of the rains, and just the rain and the sound it makes, the shapes it makes as it splatter off of everything !
Yup, thanks for that! It's easy to forget one of the most peaceful afternoons one can spend in the rainy season.
