Speaking of march, the most jocund days of my childhood have been spent on this month,year after year ,till i grew up,......
grown up enough to give my board exams,and which marked the official end to this particular span of merry-making days......this is the time when our final exams would end..especially living in an area full of kids of your own age group, this helps a lot ;).....

the cool breeze blowing around this time of the year, has a very different kind of sweet smell.....it gives me a ride back to those good old days when spending time was playing with your friends without thinking of a second thing.......the modest homely evenings when there would be a rush to the sofa and tv to watch "just Kids" at 6 pm.....and mummy ready with a cup of fresh plugged tea.....the brief powercuts which would give a "to the terrace" signal to every kid...the blatant staring into the tv screen even if nothing good was being aired......and at night the crowding in the next door old uncle's house to listen to his collection of ghost stories :)...
but what i loves the most during this time of the year was my visit to my aunts house and their beautiful garden full of flowers of all possible colors...
and whenever i used to ask her about the colors as to where did she got them from.......she just used to say that she borrowed it from the rainbow.....
it happend one day that i was there sitting in front of the veranda with my aunt after a rain.....and staring at the just washed flowers...as if GOD has just wraped them out of a pack....and suddenly my eyes went above to a pattern of color in the sky...i asked my aunt...."where did the color in the rainbow came when u have borrowed it from him for your flowers?"...
.she stared at me for a while with an curious eye......n then she to looked at the sky as if searching for something..........and then with a smile she showed me another rainbow.....i was amazed............coz i hav never seen two at a time....
she said..."there is not just one....the one from whom i borrowed is not comming this year...so he lended me.........." i just nodded and kept searching for an another rainbow in the sky with curious eyes...............
