Few days back there was good rain for about 45 minutes in the evening at 7 pm. I was busy in my AC office in my Income Tax work as such even I did not notice or came to know of it. I felt bad as rains are much needed and it is a natural bounty. On July 31, 2010 there was good –heavy rainfall from morning and luckily little work on last day of filing Income Tax Returns was left out. I just left the work and went out to enjoy rains-monsoon on Delhi Roads in my car-knowing pretty well problems of traffic jams etc I was so much desperate to go out as for last fortnight I was just busy in my Income Tax work. I decided to go to Sheikh Sarai-Chirag Delhi side and intentionally took Siri Fort-Kamla Nehru college road instead of Panchsheel Road as mostly it is over busy and there is frequent traffic jam there. Even this road had good amount of water flooded but I felt there as:

Yeh hai Monsoon magic!

“Varshaa ki phuaaro ne

Kar diya mantra mugadh

Sadak par  behete huye

Paani ki lehron ney

Kar diya mantra mugadh

Thandi thandi hawao ney

Kar diya mantra mugadh

Dupahiyan wahaono  pay

bheegay huyelogo kay chero ney

 bheegay huye badan ney

diya ek khushi kaa piagaam

kaam par nekle logo ney

varshaa ki parwa na kar key

moh liya dil mera

Kutch car mein baithe logon ki baichaini ney

Kutch horno ki awaazo ney

Kutch hasa diya

Kutch music ka ahsaas

Karaa diya mujhe

Yeh sab to prakartik tha

To baichani kaisi?

Sadak ke dono taraf haryali hi haryali ney

(opposite Krishi Vihar-on BRT towards Chirag Delhi flyover)

Kar diya dil mera mantra mugadh

Laga aise jaise maim Dilli mein nahi

Par kar raha hun safar

phadon ki vaadiyo mein

Aisa sunder vatavaran

Aisa sukhmey safar

Dil ko chchoo lene wala safar

Ban gaya ek yaadgar safar

Sab thakaan kaam ki

Mit gayee pal mein

Aisa tha varshaa ka suhana  safar

Ek yaadgaar that varsha ka safar

Isay kehte hai varshaa ka chamatkaar

Issay kehte hai varsha ka anand

Yeh hai  varshaa ka jadoo

Ha yeh hai  Monsoon magic!
