India's premier luxury lifestyle women's magazine
Every year, around June, we wait with bated breath for the familiar pitter-patter against our windowpanes that heralds the arrival of the rains in Mumbai. When the first showers are delayed, we are filled with restlessness — we worry at the disruption of nature’s seasonal rhythm. In a poetic outpouring, ANURADHA MAHINDRA, Founder-Editor, Verve, voices the thoughts of many, as she shares her own experience of waiting….
I didn’t think a delayed monsoon would leave me so desperate, with such unfound or unknown expectations of a life that I wasn’t able to meet or find. Now, tomorrow, with its implied water cuts and dashed agendas, is a day that I would want to postpone. The not-so-bewildered weatherman had religiously announced each week that the rains would descend the following week, and so our calendars hung in suspense. Like a man or woman, or anybody who hasn’t been taken, and is simply waiting for that right partner to show up, outside their door.
Then on a Sunday, when I was languishing in my aimless nothingness, as if the sheer waiting itself would precipitate a thunderous downpour, I received a call from a close friend to join her over a cuppa while watching the rain! Was she delusional, I thought to myself. Are we to make do with “chai and chatter” over Zoom now? To truly indulge in such a pastime, you have to make time stand still.
