A Perfect Date

It started raining... rain drops poured so heavily. Loud roaring Clouds painted the sky in myriad shades of grey. duhh... this ain’t a thriller sequence!!! Man I really love rain… and guess what it was my first date. :) I never had this feeling ever in my life before. I was so excited ever since we both planned this… Officially! You know what I mean.. Had a sleepless night and damn I didn’t know what to wear … even out of my new wardrobe. I was my kiddish best with nothing to wear on a 'Date'!! Anyway, that didn't matter much when under the morning sun my sweetest clouds made the streets glisten with water. Hehe ...I hate what rain does to motor drivers, turning them into un proclaimed Da Vincis and Picassos splashing muddy water around..grrr.. But I had my romantic spirits high as a smooth, soothing rhyme was playing in my head. This was a never before feeling.

Finally I was ready to meet my princess. If I had ever been equally excited for school, I would have turned out a smarter student and would have a better girlphrend.. eeekk...I didn’t mean that! ;) Plan was to grab some tid-bits at the coffee shop, then a romanchik movie and then a good authentic Thai lunch would have ended the perfect day.

On the way, I stopped to buy her a bunch of white and pink Lilies. Such beautiful flowers that at one point, I thought of keeping them for myself :) With two movie tickets tucked safely in my pocket I reached the coffee shop …crap I reached there almost half n hour before ...before even the coffee shop had to open! :( ..and another hour before we had to meet! :D So in the mean time I thought of being little romantic about the situation… It was still raining... coffee shop guys had now come to open the shop and I had the flowers taken away only to be brought to the table once she arrived.

Then I waited for her as I saw the streets getting washed off in the rain from window. I love it, when rain drops fall on glass windows and drip till the window sill. It looks so peaceful ..isn't it? The melodies were still playing in my head making the moment very special. At the same time, the excitement of it all was giving me butterflies in my stomach as if I had to put up some stage performance.

I checked the time with the coffee guy. It was half an hour past the time we had actually decided to meet. It was getting bad… I, till now, had had around 3 coffee shots. That day, for the first time in my life, I waited for someone for around 3 hours, had no less than 6 cups of coffee ..and the BEST PART: She didn't even turn up… WOW!

I went back home, could not even ask back my flowers and kept those movie tickets as a souvenir of the most traumatic 3 hours movie of my life, WHICH WAS SHOT ON ME.

:) Well, now when I look back in time and think of that day …I smile and feel good about one thing, that it rained that day.
