Like nobody's loved you
Come rain! I’ll love you!
Oh, it's raining again! Time to feel down and dreary? No! Learn to love the falling rain, which waters our world and can keep our spirits up. Here’s why we have planned to list down some ‘how and why’ should one enjoy the cat and dog weather.
Enjoy the weather- C’mon, don’t crib anymore for the traffic you would have to safe. If you are at the workplace, plan a lunch with teammates or simply order some pakodas and chai from the nearby dhaba. Take small coffee breaks to adore the beauty of cloudy skies and the rain. But if you manage to convince your boss and take a day off, rejuvenate yourself at home by simply cuddling up in your cozy quilt. Open the windows, lie down in bed and let the sound of the rain soothe you. And yes turn the TV off! Catch up on some reading instead.
Go outdoors- If you are not one of those who like to sit at home, then simply wear your raincoat, grab you camera and go outdoors to click some beautiful shots of the rain. If you‘re lucky, you could catch a few shots of some luvy- duvy couples enjoying a romantic day and ice-cream at the India Gate. Go to a lake view restaurant at Huaz Khas and grab a cup a steamy cup of coffee. Sip and gossip with your close friends.
Get Steamy with your partner- Literally! This is the best time to have a steamy romantic date with your boyfriend. Make it special by baking a chocolate cake, or prepare a favorite dish and enjoy it with a romantic movie at home. If you cant spend the day together due to your work schedules, go out for an extravagant dinner at a fancy place followed by a long walk. Do all those things you said you'd save until a romantic rainy day!
Be a kid- If you are a housewife, you’re already lucky because your kids will most probably have the day off. So go out with them for a small pizza picnic. For once, be a kid with your kids, splash and let them splash around in the puddles. They can take their rubber ducks and bath toys with them, or float paper boats in the pool of water. The smile on your kid’s face will make your day the most memorable rainy days of all. Please don’t leave the pets at home. Your dog will have plenty of things to do outdoors on a rainy day.
Go shopping- Its true girls need an excuse to go shop, so what better excuse than this! While most people will be lazing at home, the markets will be packed. Who knows, you might just get a rainy day discount on your dress. But don’t forget to use the public transport to avoid traffic snarls on the road because of the rain.
