Raindrops

Once upon a cloudy day i was born
Landed on a lovely leaf at that morn
Later when the sun shone brightly
Its beautiful rays beautified me
With the colorful rainbow hues
I smiled and twinkled with joy

At that glorious moment
In life came a thirsty little butterfly
It sipped me a little, chipping off
The yellowish hue thinking it was nectar
Then fluttered away to a nearby flower

Phew! i was safe and sound
With a pretty good hold
On this slender tender green leaf
Decorating this blade of grass
Like the precious diamond ring
On a woman's finger,
Twinkling and sparkling all the time.

Well the sun was burning up the gas
And drying the moisture around
I didn't want to be wasteful
Watching my friends dry
But decided to slip by
The parched soil

Well here i got absorbed by a little apple seed
Which was longing for some water to bring it to life
And i was transformed into some sort of energy
To make it grow into a little apple sapling!
And so my life never ends
Because its recycled through
This little apple sapling
And i get out of there into the air
To be robed as clouds
And back to the earth
As a crystal clear raindrop again!

Windshield Sky

Driving in the rain
It's not a pain but a gain
To your admiration of nature
The big droplets of rain
Forcefully pitter- patter’s on your windshield----no, rain shield!!!
The big droplets of the rain
Like the sparks of the shooting star
Shoots down straight on to you
But untouched
The little droplets of rain
Joined together, forming shapes like sperms
Or baby snakes
In search of their destination.
The wiper blades slash them
Sending them to be born as …
The big cool sun with water rays
On the windshield sky!!!!!

The Parked Van

Watching it rain, seated inside the van was a novel experience. The water pouring down on the windshield gives the vision of being drenched down to the earth. But your safe and dry seated inside. Still amazing views you can see and justify the filmmaker’s fantastic scenes. For, a solid building can be shaky when you view through the windshield of your car.


Watching outside while you are seated inside the parked van is a beauty in disguise of your boredom. When suddenly the glass door in front of a parking lot is opened, you see the dance and collision of the different parked cars and vans. A true silent movie, a feast to the eyes takes you to the world of surprise. One single car can do magic by multiplying itself into two or three, when doors open and close in front of you. Wow, the reflection’s in a glass door is a wonderful gift of amusement!
