It was pouring in the city and people had taken off from offices because they could not commute. I also happened to take off from office. In spite of people back home asking me not to go to my class (in Mylapore) I decided to go to my class in the morning. Dad had dropped me in Tenampet on his way to office. By the time I reached the class after going to temple at Alwarpet, I partly drenched. I had some work in the UTI Bank in RK Salai, before I could leave for home. Having done all work I decided to take a bus from the yellow pages stop in the RK Salai. As I started walking towards the bus stop, I was fully drenched in rain. I decided to stop near the bridge as I was not able to walk due to knee deep water. I stood there for more than half an hour, before I started looking out for an auto. I could not find an autowallah, I called up a private taxi service to enquire if I could get a taxi. I was told that the taxi would be sent on to a address and can not pick a person waiting on the road. I could not move from that place for the next one hour. I had no other go but to stand there patiently. By then I started to feel feverish and palm were paining due to standing in the water for more than hour. I finally I managed to move from that place and got into an auto. I suddenly decided go to my dentists place in KK Nagar before I go home. I meet a friend of my mine staying nearby. She gave a big chocolate (Mars). I finally managed to get a 11H, reach home enjoying that window seat got and munching that mars in the bus.
By the time I reached home I was down with light fever and aching feet & palms. Unable to take the pain, I had to take a few pills. As I was lying the bed, I was thinking if I really had to go to the class to day in this rain. Probably it was just this PASSION for the instrument that drove me to go to the class on the raining Saturday. This pain seemed so trivial in comparison to satisfaction that I got in playing this in instrument.
