There is rain scent in London tonight. The one when parched earth suddenly gets soaked. Not a smell I associate with Britain. It got me thinking of #rainsongs and this

Sending this one from my #rainsongs list to @noteon 😁

Am missing Dilli farm house rain parties 😉 and of course this old favourite. SO many memories #rainsongs

Going back to a classic. And #ZeenatAman! My first and forever screen crush! (sending this one to @JShahryar xx)
#rainsongs

And another favourite #rainsongs

Sending this one to @TheBuddhaSmiled with fab memories of rain parties in lots of cities across the globe

So yes I wrote the #BachchanBook but I have never been a big fan of this one. Some how it seems too crude for Smita! #rainsongs

And (yes don’t @ me for this) am not a fan of Aishwarya but I love this one #rainsongs

Another song with a lot of my late 90s early 2000s stint in India. #rainsongs

Reaching back to the classics. An amazing movie too if you want a reco #rainsongs

PS I promise I know the word petrichor. I just prefer rain scent as it is closer to सौंधि खुशबू than that rather harsh sound wordmin Engish

But I may as well add this classic. No #rainsongs session is ever complete without it

No rain visuals but one of the most gorgeous songs ever about rain in Hindi #rainsongs

This brings back so many memories. My own and transgenerational. So much of my area still has scars of history. Also a novel worth reading/movie worth watching #rainsongs

Ending this session with the absolute favourite. It is one of my most romantic songs ever #rainsongs

Haven’t done a #Bollywood song session in ages so felt good. Lots more #rainsongs of course but for now 🙏🏽

PS, for those who just joined the thread, this one is for you #rainsongs

Oh never mind. I just have to share this one too! #rainsongs

In India, there is a traditional perfume that smells of rain scent.

As a child, I used to think it was magic.

I still do.
