Rain Rain Come Again

Its been raining cats, dogs and hippos in Mumbai while the weather is bone dry in Delhi. I wonder what did delhites do to earn this fate?

As kids, we used to sing a rhyme, taught to us by aunts...

'Yere yere pausaa
Tula deto paisa
Paisa hota khota
Paus aala motha'

Come come O rain,
I'll give you money
(then it rained)
The money is false
But the rains are big
(so I fooled the rains)

I am not really a rainy person...all its romance and the beauty remains locked up only in yellowed pages.
And yet rains invariably flood me with childhood memories of "kaagaz ki kashti", muddy raincoats and seasonal flu! :D and much as i hate to admit, it wasnt all that bad.
