The whole day they were at it...the RJ at every station..
5 word reports- "Ivathu MaLe baruva soochane idhe" (It looks like it is going to rain today)
"Cloudy, with a spell of rain towards the evening"
How many times, through the years i've heard this. And also know that they'll be hitting the nail on the spot.
Thats how it has been,
the joyous clouds, mr sunshine steaming into the tarred roads, as if he's in a hurry, always isn't he? He has to catch up with the steaming Chennai...and off he's run off to.
Today has been a poetic evening- the sky was so awashed with color, that it looked like some thing out of the fairytale book. The pinks, merged with the blues, and when I looked out it looked as if it were going to just walk away with my thoughts.
It looked as if the skies were painting to the tune of the stress around town...eggjams and more exams. It sure was a beautiful sight.
Late into the night, I was still to answer my younger one..." Its so pink, when it should be fully dark now. Why, Ma? " I still had unanswered thoughts in my mind and some were to be let off...but the beauty of the stretch of pinks, and greys and blues took my breath away.
And now when the raindrops pitter patter to compete for space on the dry streets...I can smell the just wet earth, and it brings peace to my swirling mind.
This is what my city has been for me...always at peace with herself. Just when someone, starts to draw out lines of harshness on her yucky, sweaty heat...she comes down with her remedy.
Yes!! We've had our first drops of rain...and i'm sad , cos its always been a ritual for me to take the kids out into the first shower. The joy has to be seen to live it.
But there will be more to come .
This reminded me of a very lovely song...love the way Sonu Nigam has sung it

Enjoy the rain and the knick-knacks that comes with it like pakoda, chaat, hot masala tea.. etc etc....
haha
this made me smile....
you are in the architecture indusctry and there is subtleties of it in this post - colors, their meaning, moods they create, raindrops compete for space,
lines of harshness....
cool now where is the poem that should have been written in this weather :)
in a country where rain is a constant cause for cursing, I am always amused to read others waxing lyrical obout it! Enjoy it whilst you can.
@xh I guess it is this weather that just wont take the love out of us....Even after all the clogged drains, overflowing streets, we still love it.
@joy...oh yes....thats sure to come once the exams are done....thats all the items on the menu...chilli bajjis mmmm
@ceedy. heheh It wasn't intentional, though now when I read back I see all of them...guess it just wont go away...even though I sit at home now :( The poetry is frozen, now that exams are on for the kids...all I can think of are their subjects each merging one into the other
@keith Thanks keith...I know how you feel...its just that we get so little of such beauty without it being marred by the smog...that we'd like to absorb it in :)
