It's raining

Today as I was coming home, riding on the pillion seat of a bike and getting drenched in the continuous downpour since the maid washed our clothes and was about to hang them up to dry (it was Monday I think, they still haven't dried), with my friend and teammate Prachi riding her newly acquired Honda scooty slowly and steadily behind us, I was reminded about how I used to ride Aastha's scooty in college. I crashed it only once, that too in the college parking itself, twisted my ankle in the process, had a limp for about a week. Also used Nandita's scooty a lot, one day I remember especially well, when I took it all the way to DCE! Man that was a fun day! We ended up in Feroz Shah Kotla of all places and walked around the ground (it's freakishly small), even went close to the pitch, went to all the best stands to enjoy the view of the lush green outfield and that too just like that! No entry passes, special permissions or using known contacts, we just strolled in. Happy days, sigh.

Riding a bike in the rain is no fun at all. You get too wet and there is the constant scare of a fast car just splashing you with all the muddy water in the puddles on the road. Driving a car in the rain, on the other hand is much more fun. I even blogged about it once, will read it. It must be one of the few posts under the label happy. Just checked, there are actually quite a lot of posts there, and there is another one called Rain Dance, and another long one about a night none of us will ever forget.

High: Actually got some work done, and it was well appreciated. Oh and it just stopped raining, super cool breeze, clear sky, just brilliant!

Low: Got more work because of the good work.

Points: 100 points to me for starting this again. -100 points to everyone whose blog I follow and who have not been blogging.
