Well, I get monsoon. I also get pre-monsoon. But this is just stupid!
Â
As I write this, there is a torrential downpour outside. And it has been like this since about the past three hours. Of course, it started out slow, lightning and thunder… In fact, Nadeem and I were discussing the speed of sound. He asked because he saw the flash, and twenty seconds later heard the bang. That was some thunder, about 7 kilometers away!
Â
So anyway, I’m a bit concerned. 7/26, for one. Also, I still have another paper to go. And then there’s the flight to Goa. Dad is gone to Pune, so he has to get back before that. A lot of friends have plans to go many places, and if it continues like this, I don’t know what will happen!
Â
Konkan has beet hit pretty hard, I’m told… And KR is out of business because some train jumped tracks and derailed. Same old things all over again, I’d say.
Â
And I’ve already had an hour long power cut, something shorted somewhere! When will they get their act right?
Â
So, anyway, the best thing out of this is that the temperatures have significantly dropped, which is a wonderful thing. And of course, rain is rain. Always wonderful!
UPDATE: It has stopped raining now. Feels kinda nice, much cooler, wet atmosphere.
MORE UPDATES: It has been raining since morning… In fits and bursts. It’s very cloudy, and cool. I love this atmosphere… If only there was no paper tomorrow! In related news, the trains are running slow and late. But still, it is fun so far!
