raindrops kep falling on my head...they keep falling

Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain.......


Well with the rains on the onset let me go back into time,not far away,but last year to when the monsoons were on their highest fury and nature had flexed it's muscles and brought the great city of Mumbai to its knees...the poles had been reversed....Mumbai had become Venice and without the Gondolas....and the sernaading!!!
People were escaping from the city cause their social life was getting effected and their homes flooded!!!!!!!!
One such person plonked themselves in Delhi at my house saying Mumbai was flooded and she did not know what to do so she decided to bless me with her presence...lol...i wish it would have been for love but at that time i wanted it to be raining forever in Tinsel Town.
And being the lion hearted man...what did i do???
plan a surprise trip to Goa...DUHHHH!!!!
We took off....God had mercy on us...n we landed...God really had mercy on us....what happened in between no words can express or explain...i need a whole life to describe that roller coaster!!!

But when we landed and got our bearings back...i was dumbfounded.
I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life...Greenery and Greenery and a reddish grey sky and a cool breeze on my face...and to top it a false feeling of love in my heart!!!
The first thing that came to my mind was the everlasting song from BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID....
"Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me'
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me"

I was on top of the world!!! The absolute top....well i wish it had been geogaraphically rather than metaphorically...but ALAS...
ha ha!!!

SUNBATHING TIME
We finally found the sun one day and in a country where the women give FAIR AND LOVELY more business than anywhere in the world,my lady friend decided that she was too fair for this aboriginal country and didnt fit in!!!
what happens next...a few litres of tanning lotion are applied,hands..legs...back and torso smothered and then she decides that if her body is tanned and face white it would look rather funny and despite repeated warnings of repercussions beyond belief and relief she dipped her face into a bucket of lotion and claimed the beach as her hibernating abode...what happened next was history..and it was all my fault and i was to blame for the sun and the lotion and the effect that the sea had...we had a repeat of MEET THE FALKERS!!!!
END OF LIFE...END OF REALITY!!!!!
The rest of the monsoons passed with me not stepping out as she was my guest and if she couldnt,HOW IN HEAVNS GRACE COULD I???

Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear.

And they had...the only thing forgotten in this quote was the TANNING LOTION!!!!!
