It is raining here. Drizzling for the most part of the day. Sun is nowhere to be seen. It is gloomy as it can be.
As if to keep company, my head has been aching non-stop since the last three days. I touch my forehead and I can actually feel the pain. No painkiller is daring to go anywhere near my aching head. Needless to say, I am in a terrible state right now.
Nevertheless, today I enjoyed a quiet moment with the rain. It wasn’t literally quiet, the pattering of rain kept company to my aching head and wandering musings. I remembered a poem I wrote about the rain drops rushing to the earth during my 12th standard. It was about hopes, expectations and the truth. That was my first and last attempt to write a poem in Hindi. Just like many other poems wrote during those times, this one also got lost from me. Those were not the best days of my life, but I was transported to that time with this good memory. Remember the stickman in Kate’s drawer from Castle? The stickman she and her father made on the day of her mother’s funeral. Kate says that it reminds her that even on the worst of days, there is the possibility of joy. Even on the worst days I did make some good memories and that was a surprise learning for me.
As you can see, my thoughts are drifting from here to there with no meaning whatsoever. I am feeling bored. I am losing interest in everything. I am okay with the rain, but the pain, it has to go away.
How was your weekend by the way?
I am co-hosting #MondayMusings with Corinne and Oh Rain. Join us with your #MondayMusings post. 🙂
I hate those days when I am so sick that even rain cannot help 😦 I hope you are feeling better now. You know I am a tweet/message away in case that helps 😀
Ah the pain that won’t go away. Sigh. You sound like you need a long break, my dear. On the plus side, it did help you blog, stream of consciousness writing, no less,so I’d say that’s a small win. Hugs 🙂
It’s raining here too Vinitha. Some time in the middle of the night I twisted my back and woke up with a jolting pain all the way down my leg. I’ve been up ever since trying to walk and stretch it out. I hope you get to feeling better. And I liked your free style of writing, by the way. 🙂
It is true. Even on bad days, one might collect memories along the way. Here it is raining as well. It felt refreshing the first hour, now two hours into the downpour, it feels murky all around. I hope you get well soon. Have a hot beverage and take rest:)
To live continuously under the spell of clouds and rains tends to get depressing. Coupled with migraine, it must be real tough. I wish there was a magic wand which could take away the pain from you. Take care 🙂
Oh gosh! So sorry to hear that Vinitha. Hope you feel better soon and the pain goes away.
Sometimes, when we write it’s just the words and we should let them flow. Have a pain free week ahead!
