On a rainday in November...

 

This is November and it is supposed to rain sometime this month in Puducherry. When I say it is "supposed" to rain, I mean that as for rains in Puducherry, nobody can be certain when the rain will start on will end. Rainy season in Puducherry - or for that matter- along the east coast, it all depends on formation of a low depression in the Bay of Bengal. One can say, it might rain in Oct-Nov. 

And so it rained .. quite nice, heavy rainfall.. Beautiful climate, all wet and cool. One has to learn to enjoy these rains. Because, it is these rains that bring water to us. Beautiful monsoon. 

Another hot year?

It was a cloudy day to start with... but as the day progressed, the clouds departed and the sun came out quite harshly.

But being under lockdown, you don't feel the heat much... at least for fortunate people like me. But for the ordinary people working in the fields, it is quite a harsh day. This year is going to be another "hottest" year, no doubt.

The evening was anyhow cool and breezy...

The morning after the Night's Rain

                                                                  A Cool Morning
                                                                After a Night's Rain
                                                        Sun Still Hesitating to Wake up
                                                          From the Blankets of Clouds

even when the sun is lazy

how can others

get up?

A rainy evening and the little birds....

Last week when I was in Kerala I spent a few hours in my in-laws' home in Vadakara. It was raining heavily, and the sound of the rain was a music to my ears, especially when I had gone from Pondicherry to Kerala, where Pondicherry was pretty hot, the cool, soothing showers was a pleasant site to watch.  While glancing through the dripping leaves and trees, I happen to see a bunch of these little birds, sitting safely at a corner of the verandah of the house... They also seem to enjoy the rain,.... It was a beautiful sight .... Here are a few shots...
