कुछ आवाज़ें भी बारिश जैसी होती हैं —
गिरती नहीं, बस ठहर जाती हैं दिल में।

Some people fall in love with a face.
Some with a smile.
And some... with a voice.
Somewhere in a city where it always rains when it's not supposed to,
where power cuts are more loyal than lovers,
and tea sellers know when heartbreak season has begun —
there lives a girl who sends in one song request every time it rains.
Always the same track. Always anonymous.
Never a name, never an explanation. Just:
"For the rain. Play this." — Monsoon Girl.
And somewhere, on the other side of the signal, sits a radio jockey
who once laughed at dedication messages,
and now waits for hers like a teenager waits for a reply.
He's never seen her. Doesn't know her name.
But she's become the best part of his monsoon.
Sometimes he replies with a poem.
Sometimes with a second song, just for her.
And sometimes, when the city is too quiet and the rain too loud —
he whispers her name into the mic like a secret the rain already knows.
"Monsoon Girl —
your song is ready. And tonight... so am I."
This is not a grand love story.
No candlelight dinners. No dramatic reveals. No Instagram posts.
Just chai, rain, and radio waves carrying unsaid feelings
between two people
who never met...
until they did.
This story begins on the night she sent the message:
"What if Monsoon Girl wants to meet the RJ?"
And he replied:
"Then bring chai and pakoras. I'll bring the playlist."
Because some dedications don't need names.
Just timing.
