Dear Rohini, such a warm installment on the rains. Thank you for sharing!

Two days ago, I flew Bangalore to Bombay for work. My husband has now accused me of stealing the rains and smuggling them with me to Bombay since it has been pouring almost non-stop here!

As you wait for the rains to return to the city, allow me to share a few words I wrote for my husband when he was away from home:

Jab sey tum gaye ho, barsaat nai hui,

Jab sey tum gaye ho, barsaat nai hui

Meri shaamein yoon hi katt jaati hai, tanhaai bas minto ki humsafar.

Bolo, bulava bheja toh aaogey?

:) much love.

My anthem for Rains is Ab ke Sawan' by Shubha Mudgal and Barso re megha barso' by Shreya Ghoshal.

And in the very end of May, the song that rises from the heart is - Kaley megha ,Kaley megha , Pani toh barsao ...from Lagaan.
