I wish I had learned those Sanskrit chants which have powers to coerce the Rain God. I wish I had known those tribal dance which could invoke the Rain. I wish I wasn't born as a muggle but as a wizard ,I would then just gesture towards the sky with my wand and say some Rain spell.
Why are Delhites being deprived of an afternoon of rain beating against windows, "gilli mitti's"(sounds lot better then wet mud) fragrance,samosa and pakora's evening? Its only in the rainy season I feel like having a cup of masala tea. There is a sense of adventure in managing to have a biscuit dipped in hot tea without letting the biscuit dissolve(I end up having a beige mush at the bottom of my cup) .For Semi atheists (which includes me) it was through rain that God revealed himself. Rain was my moment of faith and certainty in the existence of God. If you think of it, God has managed a prayer from a semi atheist(although its in a blog but technically it is a prayer).OK I give up , I believe in your existence. Now please Indraji(deity of rainfall) bestow some rain upon parched Delhi ,Ameen.

As I am reading this, the Rain God has bestowed his (am not being sexist, mind you!!) blessings on you. Its raining out here.. N over your office too..(obv.)..
