It's a rainy day

Its a rainy day.

Reminds of the childhood days,

When it used to rain.

And a call to the school,

Is it a holiday today?

And the reply comes."No".

A little annoyingly, gets ready for the school.

Puts on the canvas shoes, keeping aside the leather shoes that would be damaged in the rains.

With no waterproof school shoes or bags then, that got wet.

For those carrying a box had their book safe.

While putting on or carrying the rain coat to protect from the rains.

And some times carrying an umbrella

gets half drenched.

Prayers in school would be in the classrooms during the rains.

No PT classes even.

And as the rains continued together.

The next day the call came from school.

It's a rainy day today.

Happy and elated, yes! Its a rainy day.

A day to be spent at home.

Less studies and more play.

Play indoors!

Alone without any friends.

And the favourite games of all 

The house house doll game.

Under a table, the sides covered with bedsheets.

Which more or less gave tge feeling of a tenthouse.

They weren't available then unlike now.

The dolls room, bed kitchen,utensils everything arranged properly.

While everything done supposedly, imagining and real a combination of both.

After all it was a game play.

Every girls favourite.
