Rain Romance

It is raining in the desert land.Dubai generally gets a week of rainfall every December but last year it had also poured in April. This year the rains have set in and today was the day when this place received it’s heaviest rainfalls.

Needless to say the entire city was in a mess. Roads flooded, numerous traffic jams, and accidents. Dubai is not equipped to handle such rains and a little heavy shower can put the city in complete disarray.

But I love this weather – water all around , time for a nice walk in the rains, hot cup of tea with some onion pakoras! This weather takes me back to Mumbai’s monsoon.

I was ruing being in office today and updated my status message on FB and here is the little surprise I received from MDH in response to it in Marathi:

“Nako priye Ashi tu udaas hou,

( My love do not be so sad)

Sangatine Yaa pavsaat ole chimb hou,

(Let’s get wet together in this rain)

Kadhi kaandaa bhaji tar Kadhi vada paav khau,

(Sometimes let’s eat onion pakora, or sometimes vada paav)

Dubaichyaa Yaa pavsaat aapan harvun Jau”

(Let’s get lost in this Dubai Rain)

 

Don’t go by the English translation, the original Marathi one had me go all Ga-Ga over him again:-)
