It was an immoral rain yesterday. Unyielding, uncompromising, unrelenting.
A tyrant!
I came out of a shop, near my place and was blinded by nothing in sight but the downpour
I contemplated on my next move
I could go back and wait for the rain to abate.
But the impatient me, and the beauty loving me trashed this idea and decided to get soaked and walk till home.
But this city of Bangalore is not so much for such adventurers. It does not entertain whimsical wishes like these on unconventional days like this one.
Cos there were pools of water on both sides of the road, with just a thin pathway visible right in the center of the road.
I hopped onto that center patch of visible road and started walking on it. SO, I was waling right in the middle of a busy road
But the traffic behind me started getting mad. I continued snootily giving deaf ear to all of them, but after a while the nasty looks I got from all around made me relent.
I again had 2 options. I could go back and wait under any of the shelters around me, or step on to my left, where an unknown pile of dirt, ditch awaited me
For someone who looks out for dust in every nook and corner, who uses hand gloves when any washing has to be done, who has to wipe or dust any place she touches..the 2nd option was blasphemous
But I have no idea why, I chose the 2nd one.
I clenched my teeth, asked my heart and mind to stop for a second and without paying heed to any of my other senses, put my feet into that pool
I had an exhilarating experience of surrendering to the unknown , to the pull of a whirlwind I have never experienced
I kept walking, unaware of what was hitting my feet..and totally not bothered.
Cos I knew I was going home
And everything will be taken care of, once I am there
While I kept walking, a mad wish came to my mind..I wished I could do the same in life.
And for a second I thought it might be as easy as this.
Just plunge in, and get blown away to smithereens, by inexplicable emotions and feelings I have never found or searched within me
The unwanted can become the wanted..if they are the unknowns and the paradoxes

There are times when one wishes to surrender to the irrational and unknown in this life of order and clarity; in psychological terms, one can call it the assertion of Id--definitely quite exhilerating. But it's sad that chivalry is in short supply these days--no Sir Walter Raleigh to spread his coat on the puddle for this beautifully delicate and delicately beautiful young lady.
Hats off to the last line.
Brilliant.
Seriously.

Loved this bit. And yes! Sometimes it would feel therapeutic to let go of the inhibitions and be unmindful about the repercussions I guess :)

Syed - Chivalry is just an acquired trait in me someone to impress. Thats my conclusion after knowing so many men. But would wait to be proved wrong someday.
