University in the Rains

I can't wait to start going to University. The fresh greenery gladdens my heart. I can't wait to get wet in the University in the monsoon. Oh and to see the water drip gently off the leaves into a puddle, form tiny streams and meander off somewhere. And then following those streams to see where it continues flow or does it just play a trick on you and dives into the ground?

And then the little drenched bird's plaintive cry resonating in the ears from somewhere high up; but the eyes can't pierce through the thick growth of trees.. But oh..but oh..my eyes want to see that little bird.

Then to sit at the canteen waiting for a steaming cup of coffee and hearing the steady pitter-patter of the rains on the metal sheets. Listening to that sound tells me how heavy the rain is and from there I can see the rain fall in sheets and the wind tosses it in this direction and that..Just a white hazy mist is all around then. And then the coffee arrives and the lazy steam curls up over the coffee into nothingness.
