Who Says Rains Are All About Nostalgia And Fun? This Popular Blogger Reaches Into The Recesses Of Her Memory And Comes Out With A Story With A Lesson.

Cloudy Weather

I have a love–hate relationship with rain. I love that the rains provide the perfect excuse to stay in and eat unlimited numbers of onion bajjis (batter-fried onion rings). I hate everything else about it – the thunder, the lightning, the cold wetness and the sticky humidity that it leaves behind.

I find that most of this misplaced affection for rains comes from childhood memories and nostalgia. I also find that as we grow older, our memories are usually far rosier than what actually transpired. My favourite childhood memory of the rains is, of course, getting a day off from school. When I tell people this, I’m asked if I’ve ever let paper boats out in puddles when I was a child. I have, and I thought it was fun too, because it didn’t involve getting soaked in the rain and it didn't require the friends that I didn’t have.
