After the rain has fallen

I'm going to narrate the events that happened on Friday, May 28, 2010. Amazing, I know the dates during holidays.

It was a hot summer's day and I was peacefully chilling at home by watching Two and a Half Men on the computer. Then I got a text saying there was going to be a cricket match. So, I went by bike with Roopan on his Unicorn. He made me drink this this awful drink called "Pathini". OK, then we went to our lush green ground, Teppakulum..................

It was too hot this day and I was thinking if I should go or not. But I did. We played for a while. One singles match and the other match our area guys Vs cse kids. The rain started falling and the CSE guys gave us a winning declare. I have to say "We trashed them" :P. Ok, it was three of us in Roopan's bike. Him riding, me and a CSE guy. The rain started falling fast. It was as if someone was pelting stones at us. Drenched from head to toe, I was dropped on the road near my house. There was something red in my hand. I thought it was blood. But I didn't remember being cut anywhere. Then there was the thick red liquid dripping down my cap. It was raining blood?

No. The shade in my cap which happened to be red lost its color and that was dripping down. Almost forgot. My phone. A Samsung touch screen phone. This same hard rain, 1.5 years ago was the reason my Sony Ericsson had to be replaced. My Samsung was in my pocket and I was worried about it. Was it all right? was it not? Was I going to lose her to the wrath of the rain?
I was more concerned about the health of the phone than my health.

People on the streets were staring at me cos I was drenched from head to toe and was carrying three wooden sticks. Who gives a damn? I finally got home. Took the phone out and all life came back to me. It was ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!
