We waded through knee-deep water to reach office today.
Water got into the car and the two ants that were troubling me got drowned.
We gorged on pakodas and endless cups of chai
The clothes simply refuse to dry
Yayy! Its been raining since last night here
Now I hope the boss doesn’t turn up! And Suhaan Allah!
* Chappack-Chappack : The sound of splashing water as Meira jumps into puddles after puddles
Happy Hours Begin Here 
And it took me 4 hours of chappack chappack to reach work today 😦
hmm..live in Gurgaon, work in Delhi ?:p
Thats why I’m paying a whooping rent to stay a mere 2 km from work 😀
It still takes me more than an hour on days like these 😦
Enjoy the lovely Rainy Morning 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Ya but I love my house in Ggn and can’t imagine etting somethign like tht in Delhi 😦
Besides in-laws are also in Ggn which is why we are there
Oh neither would I. Can’t imagine staying inDelhi! Gurgaon’s good as long as we have transport, no ? And now that I know you…we can meet up too, and trade eating joints and tailor notes 😉
Absolutely…and have rolls aty Nizams 😛
Lovely 😀
err…is the library only for law or a general one? Been looking for one since I moved ( and since British Council is too damn far!)
Ping me on gtalk girl if you can…its easier to chat tht way 🙂
ha ha
I love delhi in rains infact I love every place in rain

lol…oh yes.
Place no bar, time no bar for rains 😀
Present! 😀

Bangalore roads will be in slush when it rains!! yuck!
oh ho…Bangalore too? But it does rain almost everyday there. Lovely weather, all year round.
gone are the days and BTW i.e why there is a traffic jam everyday too 😆
yes yuck yuck! to blore rain!
I missed my trains more than once by a good 3 hours when it had rained in blore!!
trains in bangalore? has the metro started functioning?
no i had to catch a train to reach my home town.. blore comes to a standstill when it rains!.
Is it that bad? I never felt so! Really bad if u hv to miss trains!
oh ho! sheesh! All metros seem so alike when it comes to traffic woes!
u must be dreaming meira, metro so early
😆
She meant metro as in metropolitan cities rt? Nt the metros for travel hai na??
Whoa!!! Knee Deep water :-O where did this happen?
Gurgaon: Almost Everywhere
Delhi: Dwarka, Dhaula Kuan…etc 🙂
enjoy the rains dear!
SHould I send some over to you?
suhana mausan! suban allah!
u mixed them both darling…
hum rains ko tarse aur delhi mein badal barse.. nahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
having said that, who doesnt love rains (minus the long hours in traffic) this reminded me of last year when we used to splash water on delhi roads 🙂 deep sigh
i meant mausam there 😛
oh yes i did indeed 😳
n I always confuse the two 😡
can someone give me a lesson on these smileys pls.. i dunno how to make any other than 🙂 😦 🙄 😛 😀 😉

There you go, Tara. 🙂
thanks honey.. you are 8)
hehe…i keep the list bookmarked…keep forgetting the words 😳
newcomer , me too 😆
good idea, did i tell you your side bar has some things interesting?
the ‘Great weekend’ one, no?
Someone commented saying the sidebar looks drab..so i added some things. but i tried to change the header and it became blank …dunno why 😥
me too new here girl.. we should ask some experts… i selected a theme that doesnt need me to worry much on this aspect.
I moved to a theme called ‘vigilance’ at Hitchy’s recommendation…the comment section is cool here.
Rains romance chai pakora – awwww bliss 😉
and bhuttas 🙂
Yum!
yum yum. But romance? What romance Swaram, tello tello
May the ants RIP 😦
they were the big ones :O
ugly too
Monsoons are bliss !!!!!
literally !!!!!
Great fun eh !!!!!! 😛 😛
yipee….
That was cute dear
🙂 Chapak chapak captured it all! Boss being absent was cherry on the wishful cake 🙂
Warm sunny day in UK –sunny here means 18 degrees 😀
18 is sunny 😛
I sure like sunny there 🙂
And I Live in south delhi and work in Noida – so I did the best thing I could – took an off and enjoyed the rains at home 🙂
its still raining here ..non stop since morning !
most sensible! people took 4.5 hours to reach work! Only the gods know why!
when it rains here in bangalroe, its good to be at home!! 🙂
Because the traffic jams up and it becomes absolutely hopeless…
thats why I took an off – the usual 1 hour drive to work would have taken me at leats 3 – if I had managed to get through the water logging !! south delhi is almost submerged today.
yeah….delhi n gurgaon drown in such days 😀
Bangalore too !!!
long time since i’ve been here… read all the posts displayed on this page 🙂
its not rained as much in mumbai this year… and when you’re in mumbai you have vada-pav and cutting chai… bliss 🙂
yes, long time 🙂
oh yes, mumbai’s spell of rains are over now. We had our bouts of jealousy then 😀
Coool 🙂 Rain and all the different experiences it brings along 🙂 though the pakoda chai are the best part about it.
and the bunking of office, when permitted 😀
😀 did the boss show up or not?
oh yes . boo hoo hoo 😥
I am so jealous. I so miss those rains in India which gave the reason to skip/get late to work, get completely drenched and enjoy chai with garma garam pakode.
Rain without creating a total mess… Total waste of rainy season 🙂
I absolutely like the way you put it…rain without mess is a total waste 🙂
OMG… you have allowed 2 ants to drown… you should have saved them… how cruel you are? 😉 😛 😛
enjoy the rain Meira 🙂
hoyi…one I translate my posts for you,and this is what I get in return 😛
Just You Wait. My next post will be in shudha hindi ( not that I know too much of it)
Oh no Meira… just said what I felt
Shudh hindi…. no need to go that extent.. even normal hindi, I won’t understand… LOL 😆
Kanagu, me will teach u ok?!!
Sure sure.. I have to learn 😀
Ahem! Someone told me they don’t know Hindi 😉
Good for u that u like rain… I would have been whining like nobody’s business unless it was declared chutti!
Aww hugs 🙂
We should have done what Ruch did. Declared her own chutti and enjoyed 😀
Hello, what happened to the exercise post? The whole day I kept thinking of a witty repartee and when I came back to post the comment you had already posted a new one. I am seriously miffed.
May be you should stay indoors and exercise. It will save you from annoying ants and knee deep water.
The Husband refuses to take chutti! Spoilsport! HE comes up with such statements and HE rebuffs me ! Men, I tell you!
oh! wow!
ok i do not miss that about india…lol!!
shraddha

Sounds familiar… reminds me of school times in Kerala! Though the troubling ants are something new 😛
The ants? A first time for me too!

Accompanying Meira in jumping from puddle to puddle 😀 ..
Yahoo…lets go chappack chappack. Bring back the rains, I tell ya
Talking about rains, yesterday it rained here in Sunnyvale(California) too. Totally unexpected and everything n my balcony was drenched.
But it doesn’t rain there usually, right? In Obelix’s words,” This world is crazy”
Hehe! Did the boss turn up at all? I love rainy days! They are so romantic;-)
yes they are. But the husband’s ‘do takiya de naukri mein mera lakhon ka saawan jaaye ” Hai!
I am sorry. Somebody should slap the guy who wrote the song “Raindrops keep falling on my shoulders”.
wow, what fun to do chapak chapak. here in the middle east all we get is the scorching sun 😦
Hehe. Heavy Rains in delhi are THAT unusual? Second or third rain dance post i have seen. I have this philosophy that dilliwalas are winter snobs and mumbaites are rain snobs. looks like its true.
Your post made me nostalgic and longing to be back in Delhi…oh those samosas and pakodas on rainy days!
Pakodas and Chai during rain….Yummmy…Keep enjoying it…
Aryan’s Mom
All said and done – rainy season is my fav !!! 🙂
Even though I hate the smell of undried clothes from every clothesline in my house, I just love the rains.
One cup of chai, in the balcony, eased on a comfy chair, watching the rain = = = = HEAVEN, DIVINE BLISS !!!! 😆
Lady, your posts ooze of hilarity!
