Kaapi & more..

For those of you who are far far away from Chennai..
Hear me, Hear me~ It rained today !!

Yes it did  :) finally Chennai received her summmer quota of rains after a dry spell which seemed to last forever ! It was wonderful, the smell of earth, the soft breeze, cool drizzle..However I was amused to see many bikers pull over and stand along the road, pavement, under the trees to keep off the rain!
How ungrateful ! This is so typical of the saying ~

"As a rule man is a fool , when its hot he likes it cool , when its is cool he likes it hot, always wanting what is not "

As for me needless to say I got drenched head  to toe (purposefully)  by the time  I reached home and had an amazing cup of Amma's KAPPI .

My Maa makes the world's best "Filter Kappi

So all the caffeine in my Kappi and rain in my city made me want to sit down and write something beautiful, however my bird brain did not cooperate with me to pen down an Odyssey, instead here is a slice of my life-love notes to my fellow passengers with whom I commute everyday in the ever-crowded electric train while I travel to & from work..


(Words in italics are my mind voice :P ensoiii)

Dear Fellow Passenger
