It was 10 in the night when I and my hubs started from my
mom’s place to head back to our home. We had to hide below an umbrella to reach
our car. Bangalore this day was extraordinarily beautiful, it was drizzling and
cloudy all day long. How weird the life is, this beautiful weather which we
were blessed upon here was due to the Cyclone which silently crawled and which
was now in dangerous form somewhere else.
Sometimes life suddenly turns beautiful, I had never
imagined a 10 mins drive from my mom’s home to my home will turn out to be an hour’s
ride and would be so memorable. Thanks to the string of things which made that
night a blessing.
I should be really thanking my little chariot for all the
best things that happened. As hubs started the car, stereo which wasn’t switched
off earlier, randomly picked up the most favorite song of ours to set the stage
on. We started singing along the tunes
of Savage garden
...I love you more
with every breath truly madly deeply do..
Who cares for the notes and tones we could just not hold
back from singing load. Inside this chariot of us, seeing the beautiful rain
showering bright golden around the high street light seemed to be best thing I
could have ever seen.
As this song of 4 min ended, we were in no mood to change
so the song played again and when we had reached our garage my hubs all of a
sudden decided to pull back the car. Before my curious eyes popped out hubs
told that he could just not call this a night and then there we were hitting
the road again for a beautiful long drive on the streets of Bangalore.
As if writing on the windows of the car where the fog
constantly formed, singing the melodious songs of love, enjoying the warmth inside
the car, and a drive of an hour and half to the outskirts was just not enough
we found a nice tea stall which catered to 24X7 workers and yes how can we
resists the inviting fragrance of tea? There we were only two of us giggling and
gulping the warm tea.
Trust me I can’t remember the various reasons we had that
night to laugh, to hug and fly in our imaginations, ah! How I wish I could
seize the sparkle of that adventure in our eyes and I pinched myself to make
sure that all these were not just one of my fantasies.
As one corner of the world suffered due to the terrible act of Mother
Nature, I was wondering at the irony that there may be many like us who were
blessed by her love at the same time. How some would hate that night so much so
that they just want it to be over and how I would want to seize it forever!
A long drive on a drizzling night was so much memorable that
I am still drenched in it.

Wonderful. This is a classic example of ones life threatening phase giving a wonderful romantic climate for other. Loved the sudden twist to the tale. So again it happened that u converted a daily chore otherwise to a beautiful blog. Keep entertaining us by your own entertainment.
So beautiful!! Just like a scene out of a romantic movie. You guys are such an awesome couple. I hope your life is filled with such romantic moments.
One man's cyclone is another (wo)man's dance in the rain....very romantic yet also thought provoking entry..really enjoy your take on life :) wishing you many more drenched drives! Uff now I want to go for a long drive toooo
Wow.. that was a poetic and vivid portrayal of romantic memories that will be cherished for a long long time. A seemingly ordinary night became memorable due to the misty and gentle rain, a lovely song and two people’s love for each other. Days like these linger in your hearts for a long time and you yearn for more of those. A very beautiful post capturing a beautiful page in your life! You have written it philosophically as well, and as you say, while nature was providing you a moment of bliss, it was wrecking havoc somewhere else. Strange are its ways indeed!
A post which made the heart flutter, Ramya :) Lovely romantic moments captured in a poetic prose!

Lovely.
Sometimes a simple impromptu act can lead to a chain reaction. Things like these happen seldom, but when it happens its worth cherishing. Isn’t it great that “that” song started off in your chariot :-)
Ahh Ramya how poetic and romantic is this! And the last line sums it all! Mother nature pay appear as a boon to us, and look how it shattered others! ironic.
