Chennai Rains




Another thing I hate about the city...after a hot April, a hotter May and the hottest June, we've just got a fresh season....Chennai rains! I wake up in the morning, and boy! things couldn't get worse. The roads are a complete slush story...the trees are green allright...but our car? Seeped in a mud slime. And all this is just after half a milimetre of rains? Can there be a more grim beginning to an already blue Monday morning?

And then the beetles and the butterflies...what is it about the rains that ushers in such colour and a dull drone? It's hard to keep these creatures off my cold ham sandwich at the breakfast table. But let me not be biased against Tam-land this time....I don't blame Chennai for the flies.

They say the sea looks pretty under a dark cloud. I'm yet to find out. Leading a sad life 1200 miles away from home sure makes me yearn for some beauty. Then a visit to the seaside on a rainy afternoon is most definitely on the cards!!! Fingers crossed!
