Mazhai // ( Tamil - rain )

Ammaaaa, mazhai vara poraduuuu.

I hate rain, I love rain.
I hate rain, I love rain.
I hate rain?
I love rain?

I hate rain.
Brown, muddy, keechad.
Mosquitoes, tadpoles, insects.
UGH.

I love rain.

Saturday evenings w garam samosas and adrak wali chai.
Papa humming Kishore Kumar songs.
Board games.
Home.

I hate rain.

Sunday evening ruined.
My white denim, now brown.
Annoying cars splashing away
No smiles. Only frowns.
Stuck,
At home.

I love rain
5th July, many moons ago.
Floods. Warnings. Alerts.
I woke up to an empty house.
Rushed trips, splashing away.
Baby brother was born.
His screams amidst thunders.
His hand clasping my finger.
I fell in love. With him, with rain.

I hate rain.

People,
Always rain
On my parade.
Always.
I hate people, and rain.

I love rain

The smell of geeli mitti.
Someone's terrace.
Soft showers.
His hands, my waist.
My first kiss.
This is what heaven must feel like.

I hate rain?

Um.

I love rain?

Chutti at work.
Netflix and chill.
Earphones in,
Problems out.
Amma screaming, Smrithiiii Mazhaiii
GET THE CLOTHES INSIDE.
ABHI.
I run to the balcony.
Little tiny drops racing down my face.
Aah :')

I love rain.

Washing down the blues;
New beginnings.
Drizzly, windy, moody.
The skies, grey
Yet still beautiful.

I love rain

A book in one hand
Chai in another
This is it.
Breathe.

I love rain?
I love rain.
I love rain.
