Romance of Rain,– This morning

By painther

What a beautiful morning ! wow!!!
Brings many emotions-
Romance: scenic delight!, good as it brings happiness to many, bad as it fosters woes to those who are deprived of beauty of romance (of nature what else) !
Whinning : There are many !
Chaos : at roads, alaround, and LCs adding flavor to it, zoom and splash :)-

Here are a few snaps, enjoy, remain happy!!!!

I can confirm what snessy is saying about the pie in the golf club, its lush mate. Waitresses are not so lush though im afraid, infact we had to look long and hard because we could not tell the sex of one of them.

Back to topic, rain is crap full stop! sun, sun and more sun thank you very much.

In an earlier post Tinkerbell stated - "i love the rains. nothing like getting drenched in it..."

So, come on admit it.. You love dancing in the rain in that white sari :O)

By painther• 19 Jan 2011 10:16

Girls find romance with SO (someone special), boys seek through bollywood setup (read sizzling girls)..

Will someone see it beyond boy girl equations- nature’s romance….just plain simple beautiful romance of nature!!!!!!

I miss monsoon days, back home, when everything gets green ..lush green....blossoming allaround!!!!

I love sitting listening to the rain hitting on the roof as I sip my hot tea, but I still don't feel romantic. TB...you been watching those bollywod films again, dancing in the rain with a revealing wet white sari? :-)

Oh naive one :O)

Picture a Hindi film..

Heroine singing and dancing in a tight fitting bodice and a sari..

Suddenly , it begins to pour..

The heroine gets wet and the clothes cling to her suple body.....

excuse me... It's getting a little hot here..I just have to leave the keyboard for a minute :O(

tink, even with the SO, rain is not romantic at all.

It's not just Bollywood movie songs that picturize in rainy settings!

And if we want to dance in the rain,we have to do it in privacy! ;)
