Calm serene atmosphere,feeling of fresh air and the beauty of twilight - this is what a morning means to me. Given my hectic schedule it would have been easier to just doze off on the bed but for the above said reasons somehow I get the enthusiasm to leave the bed and put on my jogging shoes. Hitting the university road just before the dawn has become a part of my daily routine for last two months. It all started with a self challenge of completing 5km run in 20 minutes ( though i am stuck on 26 minutes ).
Today it was like everyday, little did i know that its going to be a lovely start to the day. Started with light jogging as i usually do till i reached the nearby park to do some stretching and get ready to hit the road. When you visit a place daily you sort of start making friends with people whom you meet daily even when you rarely have a chat with them. Its like silent friendship, you give a smile while passing as if saying good morning or join in their exercise routines without speaking a word. Monsoon has arrived so it expected to be little cloudy at some times of the day but today it felt heavy. One uncle who is a yoga enthusiast( thats all i have seen him doing) looked at me and said lagta hai barish hogi...i replied in apprehensive shayad then he said phir to aaj running miss ho jayegi tumhari and I just replied lag rha hai aisa hi ( so its not only me who noticed others) ...and it started to rain moments later.
Don't quite know why but i asked myself " hey Rohit are you going to wait for rain to stop? why not run in the rain ?...and I thought not a bad idea, its been quite some time i really enjoyed monsoon. As i stepped out of the shade and rain drops fell on my shoulder i knew its worth it. It took longer than usual to cover 5 kms but i was not worried about time, i wanted more of it. Rain drops falling all over, the breeze hitting face, jumping to avoid few water logged areas on the road and water splashing under the feet....i could have gone on and on. i was all wet, my shoes were drenched with water but my soul was drenched with positivity and happiness. It felt amazing, sometimes we need to stop inhibiting ourself and just enjoy the nature. A song lyrics comes to my mind which i have heard long time back and but can't seem to remember it properly but most probably it went like this
just try to love the little things in life
Like running in the rain
And yeah all day today i kept humming my favorite rain song

kyun na nikle ghar se dil
