A Million Shades Of Grey

I love rain. simple as that... you're thinking i'm in the right city... i am. although the rain here isn't the rain i fell in love with initially... people complain about our currently horrible rainy summer... i've been basking in the grey-ry!


rain and warmth together are like Penelope Cruz, Natalie Portman and i talking about how great my taste in music is... over cocktails... Caesar without Tabasco for me, thanks.


a healthy child... running... jumping... unattended... wild... free... emphatic... joyous... dancing under the amber-grey dusted skies and hopping in the puddle swamped streets of Jallandhar, Punjab, India, was i... within that period, that space, that I. i developed, i enveloped a love for the monsoon season. i revelled under snug torrential showers. the perpetual rain. the perpetual warmth... funny how childhood experiences develop (un)healthy obsessions within us.


i love rain... in case you didn't read me properly... I LOVE RAIN!



laying in my landlord's hot tub staring at the sky up above swallowing the slightest hints of water not deserving to be called drops, falling upon me... from up there, somewhere up there... wet powder fell upon me. i decided to write while dewy dust dropped on me. dry steam raised up off me. limbs relaxed, absolutely. thoughts calmed me. those eternal thoughts of calm. that grey... everything grey. no moon. no stars. no clouds... just grey. no color... shades... shades of grey. a million shades of grey... no black. no white. grey... just grey. a million shades of grey.

  1. I love the rain too, with some limits. I love that it rained last night so I don't have to water my garden today. I don't love that I left my sunroof open.
    I love storms. I love the ocean when it is grey and windy and a little scary.
    I love lightning storms. I love the smell of the rain and the lightening.
    When the weather turns in the fall and the rains start that is when I make delicious pots of food that fill the house with warmth and aromas to make your mouth water.
    In the summer I don't love the rain every day.
    I can picture you in those puddles. I can picture a child with no worries other than what is for lunch.
    That is what grey days and puddles are for. Playing children with no cares.
    I like that you embrace what others might find depressing. You have found that if you look for the good things in any situation then you will find it.
    The way you actually "feel" the grey and don't just glance at it and try to look past it is a wonderful thing.
    I really like this post and it also tells me you have a thing for the skinny chicks.
