i like reading

A few Sundays back i was lazying at home with nothing do. It was raining and gloomy clouds covered the blues.

I slept, woke up, stared at the ceiling fan, slept again till it was time for lunch. I did not want to set my foot out in the rain. I feasted on some home cooked rice and dal and made my breakfast hungry stomach happy. Suddenly I had this spurt of energy and the will to do something... something like wash the big pile of clothes or study something or read a book... yeah! Read a book! Complete the book i started a long time back! yeah! I looked out of the window. Sunlight! this must be a dream! everything is falling into place. I must make best use of this. I want to finally complete the thumb thick "Time travel in Einstein's Universe" by Richard Gott. In an involuntary movement of my body, i grabbed my bike keys, stuffed the book in my backpack and of course put on some decent clothes and headed straight to Mulshi!

On the way i picked up a pack of Lays potato chips and Maaza. It was nice, sunny and 'bikerful' until it poured. It POURED. "AAHH! NO!! $%@&@#!!!". I screamed through my helmet. "No! it will stop! Maybe it is will-power testing time, I will read 'Time travel in Einstein's Universe' at Mulshi". My bike roared through the curves, through the towns, through the villages, through the fields, through the puddles... till I took a bio-break.

I waited for some time near a small road side stall. I waited for the rain to calm down a bit. It did. And it stopped. "YeeHaa!". I hopped on the saddle, pulled the handle and galloped all the way to Mulshi. What a familiar sight. Yet, what a beautiful sight. It was just me and my bike on top and a rain drop on my nose. Then another on my shoulder, then my hand. It was back again. hmmmpfff!

So it was after all no reading for me. I gave up fighting with Almighty and took out my snacks. As usual i just soaked in nature's beauty to the fullest.

But i am going to finish this book. Maybe at Diveagar beach? hmm not a bad idea. hmmm ;)
