The Second Day...

The day went same as yesterday's. No change at all! The day started at 9, the sun was on usual fire till afternoon and after that same story repeated. Clouds gathered and its started raining. But today's raining was heavier than yesterday accompanied by thunderstorms and hard wind. Lots of trees might have touched ground (I've seen couple of them at night!).

The evening brought great tension to our engineering students as the light went with the first raindrop! It didn't came till 9. When we were in the temple suddenly lights lit up. We thought that God had shown sympathy to us. But we were wrong! 2 hours from then light just came and went. We could do nothing without being frustrated and thinking of a deep sleep!

At last light came(permanently) at 11 and we could study.

I know that it will be a routine for us for next 2 weeks. A city like Pune which is free from loadshading has to face these types of problems in rainy season! Strange!!! The day went so simple and predictable today...

MONSOON.... The First Rain...

What a great evening it was! The clouds gathered in sky in afternoon and everything went so refreshing, cloudy whether... great to enjoy anytime... The rain started in the evening. A fresh breathe came out of soil giving a smell that no perfume can compete with. A natural scent of soil. So refreshing and rejuvenating... Lot of dust had set on leave, roofs, roads no one was able to clean them. Rain did its job so easily that everything around is looking brand new... as if someone has created them just now. I had made up my mind in afternoon to be wet in the first rain of the monsoon and how lucky I was to enjoy first rain on the same evening.

Monsoon has reached Pune on time perhaps 3-4 days earlier. Everyone was expecting it to arrive on Saturday or Sunday this week. But it surprised everyone (as always!!!). It was great atmosphere to have a cup of tea with kanda bhaji. I had cutting at Kalubai (out nashta place) but could not manage bhaji as our kaku is on leave!!! But we are planning to have omelet at night!

The first rain has brought a kind of freshness in environment and everyone is happy on its arrival. The fresh and cold breeze is flowing continuously. There will be no need of fan at night to get a better sleep! But surely no one would think of studies at such conditions!!! But I have to as my semester exam is starting from 7th june!

It was a nice coincidence for me that I have started to write in blog from today! On the day of arrival of monsoon in Pune... It was a nice experience to enjoy rain and writing in blog!
