ಮಳೆ

ನೀ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಹೊರಟಾಗ
ಅತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ ಕಳೆದಬಾರಿ,
ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಇರಬೇಕು
ನೀ ಅತ್ತರೂ
ಕಾಣ ಬಾರದೆಂದು
ಆಗಸವೇ ಅಳುತ್ತಿತ್ತು
ಈಬಾರಿ

It's raining..

It's raining,
Is it not enough to squat and sip a cup of hot coffee held in both the hands?

It's raining, is it enough to float the boats in gutter?

It's raining, Is it not enough for spiced puffed rice delicacy?

It's raining, is it not enough for hot deep fried chili baji n pakoda?

It's raining, is it not enough to sip favorite scotch?

It's raining
Is it not cold enough to shrug and sleep in corner under a blanket?

Its raining, is it not enough to sit in front of TV hugging your love?

It's raining, is it not a valid reason to close clinic and enjoy with family?

It's raining, Is it not the occasion to plant a sapling in backyard?

It's raining, is it not enough to sit back and think about last summer?

It's raining...
