We were parched…
Kalboishakhi in Kolkata

Rains came a full month late here in Kolkata. We have been waiting and waiting and waiting…
Well, finally the wait is over, and I sincerely hope that the days when the mercury hit 45 degrees celcius are gone for the year as well.
It was breathtaking to watch the skies get gradually covered by dark storm clouds. We actually did a countdown for the rain, and it came on my birthday… the best gift ever!!!!
The icing on the cake was watching the dogs run about and play like crazy in this opening act of their respite from the heat. It was really a scene to behold.
Not much to share in this post… short one, but I just had to shout a hurrah on the blog as soon as I got the chance!
Wait for a longer post later in the week.

Hurrah back to u!!
Kaalboishakhis do this to u! the abrupt darkness and cooling down in the middle of a sweltering day, the stinging dust storm, the thunder rolls and then the blessed rain!
That sunday i watched as some street kids did a mad dance in the rain and out of some crazy spirit of adventure – proceeded to lick off the rivulets of water coursing down my cousin’s car! go figure.

Since you are so shutterhappy, have you by any chance been able to click a photo of the storm?
