...walk in the rain

  • Because you want to try out God’s own shower.

  • Because you want to sizzle in the drizzle.

  • Because you want to dispel the myth that you would catch a cold if you wet yourself in the rain.

  • ILLUSTRATION BY SANDEEP JOSHIBecause you want to make everybody wonder what’s wrong with you.

  • Because you want to relive teenage years when you walked the high road of love in rain.

  • Because even in your executive suit you want to make a personality statement.

  • Because this the best way to say Pyar hua, ikrar hua to the one you love, a la Raj Kapoor and Nargis.

  • Because how else can you do a rain dance?

  • Because when the raindrops tap your head, they kickstart your thinking process.

  • Because there is nothing like a good shower before the sun goesdown.

  • Because you like yourself in the wet ’n’ wild look.

  • Because you attract attention.

  • Because you are a Hindi film buff and can’t help but ape antics of rain-drenched stars.

  • Because you are completely nuts! Sane people just watch the rain.
