Un Dia
It was on a random day of Delhi monsoon that I had decided to wear a new kurta stolen from the closet of mother dear. The day begins with a speeding auto splashing filthy roadside puddle water onto said kurta. It was a minor splash, I proceeded with my day only to take a test which went so bad that I just wanted to run back home regardless of the incessant drizzle. The Metro was a mere 8 minute walk away and two batchmates of mine were destination bound alike with umbrellas. Now, with absolutely no patience to wait for the drizzle to stop and longing to be in the comfort of sweet home, I took refugee under the rather huge umbrella. As expected, within the matter of minutes the drizzle turned to a full fledged cats, dogs, mice pouring rain in all its glory and might with a long jam of cars to accompany the same. Dodging cars and trying to stay under the paltry refuge of the umbrella was cumbersome. One of us had given up on this futile endeavor and embraced his fate of getting drenched. Gradually, so did I. Descending down the subway, I took a moment to reflect upon the sorry state I had put my new piece of clothing under. Standing right under the range of Metro's AC, shivering yet clenching onto my test paper in goosebumped hands, I managed to bump into a poor girl standing next to me when the train hit the brakes. On my way home, a comfort call proceeded to turn into mockery of our respective selves. This randomly found Pinterest image of my fellow primate is a precise depiction of me on a random day of Delhi monsoon.
