One Evening-Caught in a Norwester
The setting was absolutely perfect! Just like Raj Kapoor and Nargis when they had met, under a single umbrella,on a rainy night. The sky was streaked with flashes of lightning. The rain that feel in torrents Were blown waywardly by gusts of wind! Under a tarpaulin shed we stood, Battered by winds and the wayward rain. Our clothes wet in patches And rain water dripping down our faces. Suddenly a corner of the tarpaulin gave way, Forcing us to come closer! It was a moment worth waiting for! But wait!!! Something is wrong it seems. The script unfolded in sharp contrast to my dreams! The lady with whom I was sharing the shelter, Was old enough to be my grandmother’s elder sister!
