I think you're spot on. Initially, when you get caught in the rain, all you can think about is: "oh man, these are nice clothes" or "my iphone is going to get soaked". But after you get past a certain "breaking point" -- perhaps four or five blocks, you're alright with it and actually end up enjoying yourself. And then the people standing under the awnings look like the odd ones out. By the way, I parodied this exact "rain vs growing up" thing once: http://flickr.com/photos/naveen_/184416054/in/set-72157600210433013/ Hah. I think you’re spot on.

Please do let me know if it stops again. @mumbaigirl - I'm with you on the bath thing, but funnily enough, if the day is warm, the rain doesn't feel that cold. @Prakash - Tell me - did you do it?! :) @tgfi – thanks! Please do let me know if it stops again.

The message is essentially to be in the present for the present is very beautiful and that the present is all that matters. Walking in the rain and really being there is a wonderful feeling most of us never revisit after childhood. It might rain in Columbus today and if I am lucky, I will not avoid the rain.

I can't even stand tepid water when bathing, it has to be hot! Wish I could gather up the courage to do the same. I can’t even stand tepid water when bathing, it has to be hot!

But, yesterday was the weekend anyway - there were still very few people braving the elements unprotected (but there were a few!) @TGFI - The whole experience is much better in the summer when the weather is good. Doing this in the fall would be extremely unpleasant to say the least! Hmm... filed a complaint with bloglines. Let's see what they say. @Prithvi - I seriously thought about dancing and prancing - or more specifically opening my arms out wide, tipping my face to the sky and whirling around. But then I felt a bit silly since there were people about. Maybe next time :) And when you do your singing in the rain routine, be sure to let me know! @Krishna – The professional clothes are an acceptable excuse, but doing your own laundry?? :) Just throw the stuff in the washer!
