That happens to be me, till my late teenage it was one of my crazy ways of celebrating pouring rain. Taking a long, long walk in the pouring rain without umbrella, usually the streets were not waterlogged; in case they were… they did not dishearten, but enhanced the glee.
A bookworm transformed into an addicted writer. I love to write and illustrate them myself. By love I mean love, no half-hearted relationship, a full-fledged, passionate love, I can’t pass two days in a stretch without writing/painting (cyber), just feel empty like lovers do when their lovers are away on a tour!
Even though I am thoroughly enjoying self-publishing with amazon, but if you like my work and want to publish my works in your magazine, books or better if you want to publish a book of my works please make me very happy by contacting me.
Or if you want to sell my works on commission basis only!! contact me, I will be quite relieved. Honestly writing and selling your own work is a very BORING combination. So you are more than welcome!
Mail me @sharmishthabasu@hotmail.com, sermistabasu@gmail.com or go to-
my blog (I have 16 blogs in wordpress, all active, some on daily basis, every one on weekly basis screaming and vowing my LOVE for writing and painting- this one is first-born, so special)

Colours and Words Waltz 
This is crazy fun. I did this recently after a period of severe drought & we finally got a downpour!
i have last done it years back!
Good Sharmishtha; it is important for a writer to be anyone.
i agree :)
i agree :)
Absolutely love this post~sounds like something I have and will do again……wonderful!
hope you will enjoy that to the core.
Lovely… I can see that little girl splashing and enjoying herself… ;)
i loved it so much.
So beautifully elaborated !
Feeling Cold !
Awesome Lines !
Nicely Written !
ha ha. this time you remembered to compliment the poem.
Yes Ma’m:D
:) ha ha.
Witty and succinct, but I do suggest you omit ‘her’ in the final line.
and rewrite the line?
boy! too lazy for that! :)
Too bad we have to grow up and forget to enjoy some of those youthful pleasures.
But here’s the good news. When you finally get old, you start doing some of those goofy youthful things again. :)
Picture (me) goofy old mixed up lady splashing merrily in a water puddle. Running around transforming herself…….into an idiot.
Slips and falls and breaks a hip, pneumonia sets in. Committed to the looney bin. :(
No thanks! Give me an umbrella.
I really should wait til I have had 2nd cup of coffee to make comments. LOL
I believe that the innocence of childhood comes back with old age, their behaviour, smiles even physical condition say that. I have long since stopped believing that something/a behaviour/a habit is/ should be age-based. But I have never seen an old lady, or even a middle aged lady making a street puddle splash in public.
I do it even now when i am dead certain that no body’s watching me :)
The pix is rivetting as the words capture the mood.
thanks Raghu. you are a priceless friend.
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no back up.
Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
my accounts get hacked in a regular basis, but in case someone steals your wordpress password you can change it through your email id, i will suggest you to install a really good antivirus and some software that has reputation in the field of blocking malicious softwares or other harmful softwares from getting installed. go for the original.
what is your blog URL?
