It was raining cats and dogs

I was in Chennai over the weekend and after some 7-8 years, I witnessed a soaked Chennai-the rain Gods must be pleased with their work in this city that is deprived of one of the most essential things for survival-WATER. The chill sea breezeand the incessant rainfall made the city look quite welcoming. Though the roads were quite messy, you could see the folks enjoying the painful pleasure wading through the water and skating through the roads.

Every couple of hours, there was quite a downpour that reminded me of this adage,
"It rained cats and dogs". Oh, btw for the curious minds, I figured out some interesting etymology for this phrase which you can find at "raining cats and dogs".

All in all, I loved the weekend stay at Chennai, loved the weather, the rain and loved staying indoors playing my favorite computer games. Raindrops stuck the chord well to suit the weekend.

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
