Santa is real.

Christmas eve and light drizzle...

Music was booming in my car and i was blazing on the left most lane.
Its 5 PM and i have to reach before the store close at 6 PM.

Rear view and side mirrors begin to glow together "Reddish orange bluish red".
Its natural for lights in the season but not on the freeway :(.
Looked back, a state Sheriff was behind me and i pulled over immediately.

In the idea of venting out my anger, as seen in movies, i started to bang my steering wheel and accidentally ended up pressing the honk.Ok now its clear that I am in a deep s***t.

Sheriff knocked my window as i lowered it
"Good evening sir" greeted Sheriff
"Hello Sir Mr Sheriff" said me
"Sir.Is there any reason that you were honking.Were you calling for any help ?" questioned Sheriff
"No Sir.It was by mistake.Sorry Sir Mr Sheriff" apologized me.
"Can you please handover your license and Insurance" requested Sheriff.And i followed the instruction as a nice good school boy listening to his angry literature teacher.

"Sir Do you know why i pulled you over" asked Sheriff
"Yes Sir Sheriff.I was speeding" said me
"Do you know how much over the limit you were speeding" asked him
"5 or may be 10 Sire"
"My instrument recorded that you were 15 miles above the limit and the penalty for that will be close to 200 $" clarified the Officer
"I really apologize for that Sir"

 Pause.

"Merry Christmas to you Sir" said me
"Merry Christmas to you too.May i ask you the reason for Speeding" asked Sheriff
"Sir I am rushing to the Toys Store as they close in an hour Sir" answered me
"Are you rushing to buy a gift" asked him.
"Yes Sir Mr Sheriff.Today early morning in the bed i heard my little one sleep talking and wishing for Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer toy to Santa.So i have to buy it tonight Sir, don't want to disappoint the little one and think that Santa is not real"
Smiled the Sheriff and said "Ok i need check few things and will be back" said he and went back to his vehicle

10 mins later

"Sir.Here is your Drivers License and Insurance" handed over The Officer
"Thank you Sir" smiled me
"How old is your little one" asked Sheriff
"5 Sir" said me smiling.
"I don't want to hold you anymore Sir, as the Toy store will close in 30 mins.And please remember to tell your little one that you got a gift worth of 200 $ from Christmas Santa dressed as a cop." Officer paused and smiled."Please treat this as a warning and drive safe"
I smiled and said "Thank you so much Sir, i will i make sure stay within the limits"

"Merry Christmas and tell your little one that Santa is for real" said the Officer as he waved me good-bye

Yes i cannot disagree that anymore.

A love 'unsaid' is told.

Tokyo 5:00 PM
Ramesh muttered in his mobile phone
""Hi Pavi da..I'll be late to home dear..i..i..i have a auditor visit today at office..you have your dinner and plsdon't wait for me..". 

That's a lie.

After 5 mins he took his car out of the parking and hit the freeway and headed towards Kokyo Gaien Park.It was slightly drizzling outside and droplets frightened away of the windshield and his in car audio system melodized with a 2012 latest number.

Yet his thoughts took him a decade back of his fantasies about Pragathi
It was in his 12th class..she asked
"will you be my best friend ever Ramesh..will you promise to be" his lips uttered "yes",but he felt as though he of the ground and floating.

Every moment then on of his teen life was satiated with her.An awe inspiration that made him set definite goals and work towards achieving them.An attraction for him to attend the school.Even reaching early and staring the class room entrance for her arrival.

He still remembered the smell of her and the feeling that can never be expressed when she is near.Yes.He remembered the special dress that she wore for her birthday that year.And the color - Dark violet and the pink combi.

Ramesh can never deny the fact that his attraction towards Pragathi inspired and drove him to a point where he is now - 'Research Lead' at a renowned automobile firm
in Tokyo.

It was the last day of the school.He know if he missed this day he can never tell his love to Pragathi.

He waited there patiently ,she came near him

"Am worried if we are gonna meet again in life Ramesh" said Pragathi and added
" Lets wish we settle in the same college" Ramesh saw her eyes it was defeating him he couldn't speak a word.

They bid fairwell to each other and left the place.
The school the sacred place that brought in between them an emotion which seemed to be so shallow and transient at that age.

Days ,months and years passed,it was eventful and occupying for Ramesh that made him slowly get over the thoughts of Pragathi.Untill last week after 10 years when he found her on a Social network and to his surprise she was on a official trip to Tokyo.

It was Pragathi's request to Ramesh that she wanted to meet him for an hour.

Kokyo Gaien Park:
He waited patiently in the garden.It was drizzling but not so drenching to sit under a tree bench.He felt kind of dejavu,the same feeling of waiting for her in the school days. She came in a distant Ramesh stood up ,she came near and they gazed each other 1/2 a min.

"How are u" He asked and the next 30 mins was a brief discussion about their current state - families children etc

Slowly the discussion lurched towards their past.

Pragathi said "Ramesh.You were my best friend during those days ,why didn't you ever attempt to connect later" Ramesh remained silent.She said "Enn da you decided to take me out of your life so early."

She had all the answers for questions he had.
She said "I had dreamed of this day that you would come for sure to me with the same feelings.Dont you" 

That moment,Ramesh had few pulses skipped out of his biological system.It took 10 years for him to know that, even Pragathi had the same feelings for him.

"I love you Pragathi" that was an instantaneous a decade delayed) proposal that made her smile ,the coordinates of which is lost in his heart somewhere reconnected.

It was meant to happen like this.Something unsaid earlier had a reason and effect all this time and something unsaid is being told now that had a reason but no effect.
Ramesh was on his way back home,he had never felt so happy and clear.Before he could sense the clarity, he got a call from Pavithra


"Da where are u am still waiting for u..am hungry but don't want to eat without you..come soon"

Rain again and again

Somewhere near the Mediterranean.....

Wiper was swishing.And the sound of it from within the car tempted me for a smoke.
Drifted side line on to the exit of the freeway and slowly bumping along the little puddled instances that had their existence from nowhere.

I got down the car, there was moisture in the air.The smell was instantly reminiscent. The ground was wet, the air cool and crisp like fall. For a moment, I simply stood and breathed in the smell of something other than dirty, dusty air.

It was drizzling.Constant pouring and streamed steadily everywhere.
Lit my cigar and inhaled it ,few micro droplets splashed on my face.Wiped it off that's when i saw her getting out of the car, plain blue saree and a hair held by a band that is almost invisible and a little pony tail came out of it.

Rain doesn't know apart good or bad.It was subduing the show.Dowsed her with in minutes remorselessly.It did not know what an impact that created in to me.She instead of taking cover stood there in the middle feeling the rain from within her.Started to drench more.

I sipped my coffee and one more puff and was watching her.She started to kick the puddles with her lovely feat with the anklet on.Every puddle that she missed felt affronted of their beingness.Dramatic it wa,s as the rain started to intense to make it more worse for me.For the first time I saw how lubricious rain can be when it drenches a woman and when it soaks a woman in saree.

Splashing her forehead and running down her lips at when she tried to get the water in her mouth and sending it out without swallowing, at the same time her eye lids semi-closing to protect her eyes from the water.Every natural instincts in her body that tired to resist the water droplets were losing and the rain was the winner.It brought out her body line and i defined it to be a smooth line containing no straight portions and no sharp angle.

Took out the hair band and freed her hair.A sight time sliced with a rotation around her and the rain drops still in their places.

Opps i dint knew that my cigar fire breached the filter and burnt my finger.I was back to normal when she got back in the car.I rushed to the car and started back on to the freeway.But the thought of the beautiful site kept bothering me and alerted on bringing my virility out of me.

I couldn't see anything except water through the windshield.White smoky it was. Couldn't drive with low visibility and high burning desire within me.Parked it along the road side.

Opened up the moon roof.Let the rain flow in the car.Drenched my lips and held over hers.
Yes she is none other than my wife Aishwarya.

That kiss - A deep passionate one after a very long time between us.
It intensified and assisted.Lightening and thunderous.I relieved her off the blue saree and let the rain and me succeed her completely together.She and the rain succumbed in myself  and soaked me most replete.The hot as it gets the mighty droplets tried to chill it away.

After a crashing 40 min's we were back driving.Drizzling and chilly the air was.
Aishwarya smiled to herself several times.
Silence we maintained and the freeway was deserted with water flowing everywhere.Fiddled my hands to switch on the audio and it randomly picked and played "Pannivizhum Iravu ......." SoundCloud-Pannivizhumiravu

Post Script :
Earlier in 2006 penned down a post called Rain
More or less its been 6 years and wanted to try out a similar one.A checkpoint on my romantic intellects.
