It’s been pouring outside, hard thunder and all that. I was standing outside the balcony and watching the rain pour down.Just thought to take a clip of the same and here it is ....
Its a wonderful feeling though.....Those nights on the long verandah, with plantain pillars, squirrel beams and bird rafters — the flickering oil-lamp throws shadows on the panelled wooden-walls with heartbeats, as the last raindrops dance to the beat of thunder drums. I sway to the bheen of drunken monsoon winds. The smell of sand perfumes the air in a trapeze of fireflies. A courtyard quivers in the lap of the pale moon, in the southern corner of a distant nation, I call motherland — where eyes meet eyes in greeting and languages melt in smiles. Those monsoon nights, rising from a fond letter, are drowned in cups of desi chai as a Manx morning wakes up to a tiger sky...
It reminds of Raj Kapoor and Meena Kumari Kissing in the rain.The chill of the rain melts away against the heat of a kiss.It really does.

Write a Novel ?
When I was younger, I always excelled at creative writing assignments, and teachers said that I showed real promise. But as I got older and had to do more structured writing I struggled to achieve the perfection that I desired to the point that I grew to dislike writing. In fact, I never took a single English department writing/composition course in college. Now that I’m older and I enjoy writing again (even though most of what I do is non-creative).
Offlate when ever I got time from my mundane daily job I’ve written at least a hundread beginnings to countless stories that I’ve come up with, but I seem to lose momentum as the story goes on. I think it’s because I notice how many pages I’ve written and feel a little intimidated by it. I realize that I have years to write out a compelling novel, but I want to prove myself that that I can attempt writing a novel. I’m not just some angsty livejournal poster who has epiphanies every day or so. I feel like something’s in what I write and I just lack the ability to draw it out.
But there’s been a novel bouncing around inside my head, on and off, for the past few years, and I’d love to commit it to paper someday. I probably need to watch "Chak De" again and again to keep this motivation alive in my head .
I just stumbled upon this product on good writing ... Wanna try out ?
