This post is by my good friend Vibes, a good writer but one who cannot be bothered to start her own blog because she feels it is, I quote her "too much hassles maintaining one!!".
Enjoy!!!
I leaned my head against the side of the car. The rain had started to come down more heavily in the last few minutes. The gentle drumming down on the window was somehow very soothing to hear. The rain drops looked like silvery ribbons as they trickled down the window, surprisingly seeming to snake their way through the otherwise even pane. The big drops seemed determined to pursue their goal downwards, bright lights from outside falling on them, making them glow in the dark. Few drops just seemed plastered on the glass, looking shapeless & almost content with their fate! Water fell on some and they too continued their passage down. Thousands of tiny and white specks of water, dotted the rest of the window. Gazing at the watery-screen, nearly quenched my thirst for water that I was feeling at that moment! The shadow of the falling rain on the window, was making some eerie patterns on my hands and on the top of my jeans. Fascinated, I shook my hand to & fro, & the bizarre designs flowed along, like some pattern on an obscure painting. Ahead, the same watery shadow danced on the driver’s face as well, as he looked unblinkingly in the front.
I looked at the rain again as it pattered on the window. Am I like one of these drops? - I wondered to myself. Strong enough to know where I’m headed, knowing what I want? Or am I like those aimless spots, just lost in the crowd, not knowing where to go? Perhaps I’m like one of those, just waiting for some sort of force from somewhere or someone, pushing me & taking me along, to my journey’s end.
