ghanan ghanan ghir ghir aayo...

my eyes opened n i heard the first sound of the 'heaviest' rains today mornin - a loud sound which promised never to end...baahar dekha to it was pouring cats, dogs, lizards, bears, tigers and whoeva else cud be thrown down. Yes, the monsoon was on...

Finally the long-awaited season had broken out and the atmosphere had became much cooler...the sky had assumed the darker colours, but i cudnt even see it clearly as i was blinded by the rain. The rain. Aha! i think all had awaited it long enugh this time - but what a timing...my friends, including my best friend had finished her project presentation at college yesterday, havin safely said goodbye to good old under-raduation days and there i was - stuck as eva with my team, with da project stil on our heads...had to collect the report from the place where it had been given for binding 2 days earlier...so had to hurry out...evrythin was a muddle as it normally was with the first rains - i somehow managed to fish out the umbrella from under all my old books under the bed - it was perfectly fine...imagined all the lazy people like me in each house doin the same at that time itself...coz they just cudnt find 'time' to do it earlier...

Mom's leg had had a hairline fracture and she had to walk slow as we took our first steps in the puddles down...the scene as we proceeded in the car was terrible...exactly as predicted by the sewage expert and city hygiene officer Ashok Naik - the work left incomplete due to the collapse of Parrikar Government had shown its results well...half of Panaji was badly flooded in the first half of the morning itself...never before had i seen so much water collectin on the main road near the Secretariat...n heh..there wa more to come...

Mom had to leave me quite at a distance from the pavement where she dropped me as it was totally flooded...i walkd across and waited outside the shop to collect the reports after da others arrived...n then yeah - the thoughts on a rainy day as i always imagine them - had the mobile...so msged and smsed a couple of people...

da wait was long..but watchin the rains was pastime...these guys arrived n then it was back to the normal day once again...well but of course there is a long time to go bfore the season finally closes its doors on us...so me cooool..!!
