Gods smile on human vermins
Its no mean feat to get drenched more than 24 hours in Monsoon rains....................Chennai has witnessed one such phenomenon starting yesterday 8th November 2015 till date 9th November 2015, 1.00pm.
I am thrilled beyond my out of world imagination to see such downpour. Its been years since I have seen raining like cats and dogs.
True I am oblivious to innumerable potholed roads, unthinkable gaping manholes ready to devour me and unsuspecting live wires snaking through in the flooded streets.
If life has to go in these dangers let be it, who can stop before which I like to pen my heartfelt joy of this bountiful rain.
be it the soaked smell of the vegetation, scurrying small animals from the incessant rains, and the sounds of spattering rain from roofs, tin awnings, trees and window sills.
The air is so moist that even the floor we thread on is chill, the need to frequent loo is more a pain in this season and yet enjoyable.
Our building has even begun to show water seepage due to this rain, wow I am just thrilled there has been so much rain.
The trees have chosen to submit to the rain god and have made small adjustments, sprightly Jackfruit tree shifted its gaze towards rain clouds and in process tilted a bit, the Flame of Forest which stood firm over years has swayed with the blowing winds in a grace of a sail. Our tree Jasmine has shed a truck load of its flowers on the floor to welcome the rain with its offering and plantain trees show their true colour a resplendent Green a true colour of its season.
I keep wondering when it rains like this how much is enough for us? given the unprecedented heat and drought, this rain is nothing.
last week my father mentioned that its been years since we had rains like days together he mentioned 2005 when offices were declared holiday in Chennai.
What situation have we got ourselves into where we are resigned to fact of listening to stories and past dreams...........................what have be brought upon ourselves with our selfish means and deeds.
I think what so special about Kerala year round is Chennai being transformed into Kerala for a few days........................let us savour in this joy for few more days........................O Mighty................
