What a relief...

Nature does it best! It finally rained this summer here in Bangalore. Last night's rain came after a long five months dry spell and what a welcome relief it provided us from the summer heat that has been on from March ! The temperatures over the last few weeks have been topping 37 deg Celsius.

I really enjoyed the rain, the cool breeze it brought with it, smell of earth it kicked up... It was heaven. This morning when it was all over, I could see the birds chirping energetically (or does it just seem to me that way), hopping from tree to tree. The parched soil has already absorbed the water and hopefully has taken it to the natural storage underground. Trees got a chance to quench their thirsts with this sudden downpour.

I hope there will be a few more days with rain.
