Pouring Out...

It's raining heavily outside and listening to the drone of rainfall on the roof is pleasing to the ears. This is the first time this season that it's raining like this and I hope it pours back home too. Father who is there was telling me that it's not at all like typical July there - by now it should be raning for days and one should do nothing but sit and watch the rain in awe and happiness. Though it used to be highly inconvenient to go anywhere when it rained like that, I don't remember being upset about it. I mean, we all took it granted so it feels so odd this time around.

We have a team outing coming up this monthend and it has already taken off on a bad note as far as I'm concerned. We have some guys who moved to a different team recently and they were not invited originally and then were invited by some of us but that has been taken very badly by my boss. I don't deny that I am biased towards S and I was a bit embarrassed when my boss reminded me of others but it seems but natural that he should be part of the gathering; he still sits surrounded by our team, never denied help to any of his old-teammates and in general friends with everybody in the team. When he told me he wouldn't come because he may be not be comfortable as such, I didn't know what to say. Felt very sad and I didn't know if it was because he declined or because of my helplessness in the changed circumstances to really insist on his coming.
