Raindrops for Diwali

As dragonflies volley between badminton bats on the terrace, as rainbows align their bodies along the curves of coconut leaves, as the air rumbles with the sound of thunder competing with firecrackers, as firedrops form dizzying designs of golden octopuses on the ground, as a barebacked man stands for cover underneath a poster for designer clothes, as golden sarees escape the clutch of plastic clips to form a bed for the stars, you, my city - you do love getting ready for an evening of fire and rain.
