The rains have finally touched down on the lives of the people. It’s great to see it bring respite to many and disgust to some. The slow motion suicide that people undertook for the past few days by going out in this sweltering sun has hopefully come to an end. The temperatures would finally come down and we hopefully can say that the Nor’westers have built there base in the south of Bengal after a practice session in the northern part of the neighbouring states.
I am really overjoyed to see the rains from my balcony. It’s just pouring out here that’s what I have been thinking all along. What a night its going to be!
The smell of wetness is just wonderful, my favourite smell living in India Bengal at this hour are really awesome. The sky just lights up and the thunder is awesome. Anybody would be awestruck by the winds and there devastating effect on the temperature.
I had tried to shoot the lightning strike with my digital camera but couldn’t but someday I will. It is the lightning that fascinates me the most. I have been hooked to them from my childhood and now the intensity has turned a new leaf. The rain drops falling on my skin and trickling down slowly really is some sensation that can only be felt and not talked about.
About today’s sudden spell…..Hell broke loose as soon as the wind developed a gusty attitude. It was mayhem all around. People rushing to take cover from filth zigzagging on the streets and on them. Now they understand, hopefully, what they throw on the streets actually is not very romantic. Umbrellas going haywire, clothes blown away etc etc etc….are the little things that happen when a sudden outburst of nature blinds the mundane. There was dust swirling and getting into all kinds of places. Amidst all this romantics a corpse was being taken to be burnt. What a tragedy! A beautiful night marred for the bereaved family.
I saw people on the roads running to take cover.. “Take Cover” are you kidding me, getting wet in the rain is so much fun and the “adults” find it quite childish. Oh ! who cares .I messaged my friend as I could not control my emotions and had to share it with him. He too was enjoying the same darn thing .Yeah that’s it the rains have officially created a wave by registering its first successful spell. The Ganges looks stupendously beautiful. And as night has set in it really mirrors the lighting with great might and makes a beautiful canvas. The cold air is making me feel sleepy. The beautiful rains has touched my sweating little heart.
Drops that touched the heart........
