The downpour although for a short while just reaffirmed the fact that I am a ‘pluviophile’ – someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days. I love watching the blustering wind splashing the window panes with a flurry of rain making myriads of patterns. Watching raindrops trickle down your car windows has a very calming effect. And it is an altogether different joy to have a hot cuppa tea/coffee with pakoras over a chat with friends and family. The rain also means ditching the trip to shopping malls instead going for a long drive.
Some other times I love to listen to music on a rainy day on the radio. The RJ on FM channels on such days usually play good saawan songs from Bollywood with lot of rim-jhim in it.

You're like me. I find relief and joy in a pouring rain. I sometimes would put away my umbrella and enjoy the raindrops hitting my hair.
