NOVEMBER RAIN

Last evening was a little different from the ones that I have been seeing this November. There was a time when I would feel the cold air of winter around me. The breeze used to blow against my face with full force and I would always know that was November. But now I no longer can feel the winter the way I used too.
Last winter I had all my woolens out and I used them a lot. Last year was a lot different from this year. Lot of things have changed since then. A part of the change is also the place where I hang out these days. The amount of work that I have has increased. So this winter I am mostly sitting at home working on what I call my “Work Table” The most outing I take these days is to go down the lane and sit at Barista with my friends, that to inside, so again there is no chance to feel the winter.
As I said last evening was different, as always I was working at my Work Table, I have this submission which I have to complete and submit by Monday, when a friend of mine called me to meet her at Barista for a coffee. It was cloudy outside, the sky has been cloudy for some days know. As I was walking back home from my meeting it stared to drizzle, cold drops started to hit my face and the ground, there was thunder and lighting. I started to walk faster so as to get home where it would be all warm and nice.
Ones I reached home I got busy with dinner and then my work. By the time I got-up to take a stretch it was 1.30am, I got-up and went to the balcony. The building in which I live is on a slope, for additional height the flat that I live in is on the fifth floor, some windows open to a beautiful hill view and the others open to the view of the city that I call home. From my balcony you can see both these view, when I walked on to it last night I walked to the side of hill view side of the balcony. There was this soft breeze which carried with it the freshness that u can feel only when the clouds pour a little bit of themselves on mother earth and my thought went to a song by “Guns and Roses” called “November Rain.”
The breeze was blowing against my face, though the breeze was nice it was also cold and it made me want something warm. The hill at night seemed pretty lonely with all its tress fast asleep. The loneliness in me started to push its way up, it’s the kind off loneliness that you feel when your all alone at night, the only on awake, the world around you is sleeping, then when you look at the lonely hill in front of you and the silent street blow from where you stand everything seems to be not wroth it. All the thing that you have done to get where you are seem unreal, stupid and then your thoughts start moving towards the people who are a part of your life. You wonder where they are at that moment, whether they are awake or sleeping, whether they are remembering you or dreaming. Slowly you start smiling and turn to look at the city which you call home, with its street light still on, its awake, watching you, giving you company, you feel like it understand what you are going through. Somewhere in you, the song starts playing “NOTHING LASTS FOREVER NOT EVEN COLD NOVEMBER RAIN”
The glow of the yellow street lights fill you with Hope, a kind of Hope I can’t explain, but I am sure that each one of us at sometime has felt it or will feel it I don’t need to talk much about it. If you have not felt it as yet it’s my advice that when you do feel it TREASURES the moment. It will last u a life time.
You know winter being my favorite season I will not hear anything against it. I really don’t like it when people say thinks like winter depress them. For those of you who are like these people I have an idea, make you bed, take a comfortable and warm rug, then cuddle with a loved one and read a book. Let their warmth fill your heart. Then I am sure winters will not seem so depressing, on the other hand you mite just start looking forward to winter.
So if you’re feeling low today or any other day just remember the lines of the song “NOTHING LASTS …………….” I sure you have got the message.
