It’s rarely raining in Chennai. But yesterday it was horrible. I started late from office and reached my husband’s place by 7.00 pm. As soon as we started drizzling. Within seconds it was going to rain heavily. So my sweet husband forced me to get down from the motorbike and get into a bus to our place. First I din’t mind. Actually I like to get wet in rain. In childhood days, my mom’s main work was to find where I am in the raining time. I used to run in rains or stand below the tiles or pipes to get wet. But I am not enough healthy to repeat those things. When my husband reminded me about my health condition, with half mind I got down. After got into the bus only I remembered that I had only 10 rupees 25 paisa. At office I have given 50 rupees for buying juice and forgot to collect the balance. My bus-fare was rs.4. The rain became very strong and I was afraid that whether my husband reached home or not. When I tried to call him, his mobile was switched. I really got tensed. Another problem is I had only 6.25 rupees only. From the bus stop I have to pick an auto to reach home. These auto people are the highly demanding creatures in Chennai. For a 1km travel also they will ask minimum 50 rupees. Normally in shared autos I am paying 5 rs till our place. But due to rain people started to ask for 10 rupees. I gave 6 rupees to the auto uncle. He just turned and asked who gave this. Luckily he didn’t demand more. I was thinking what to do if he is asking for more money. They can’t wait till I go and get money from home. I had 2 debit cards also with me. But what is the use? Sometimes nothing can replace by money. By the time I reached home I had only 25 paisa with me. When I was in the auto, my husband called me up. By god’s grace he reached home safely and he has switched off his phone because he didn’t want to get the mobile wet. So happy ending.
Because of rain, yesterday we made hot soup, dosa and omelet. It is said that for 2 more days the weather will be like this only. So I will leave early today.
My rain song
Rain rain go away
Come back on a holiday
Thunder is a wonder
But I don’t like that hunter
How’s it?
