The first rains

The mets had said it would be on the 22nd or later, but JSR had it's first proper rains today. I was walking back from the net cafe when they started, & not for one moment did I think of hiding someplace or running home, the rains came as such welcome relief. Hopefully they'll continue so that the mets can somehow have their prophecy of a 'normal' monsoon fulfilled. The whole country is waiting for the monsoons & I hope their wait is shortlived. The power of nature........how small we humans are before it!

Anupam is celebrating his b'day today. Happy b'day dude!

Today is the Summer Solistice. Life & it's cycles......time marches on unabated.
