A long winding day...

Sweet sound of pouring rain, with cool wind blowing - a pleasant night to sleep indeed. Hmmm, I miss the cool breeze of bangalore always... the most gentle weather that I had ever come across. Rains make me feel nostalgic - they make me think so much about my childhood when I used to wait for the first rain of the Spring (during June or sometimes during the end of May). The coming of spring were a delightful welcome after the hot months of summer. The cool breeze, accompanied with thunder, showers of hail stone and the pleasant smell of eucalyptus from the trees in my neighbourhood, all welcoming the season of spring - were some of the most pleasant memories of my childhood.

Life used to be great back then, except of course for my schooling (I hated school way too much, it somewhat killed my freedom and made my days tasteless and monotonous mostly). As I grew up, the trees were cut down, to be replaced with badly architected buildings, houses, narrow roads and cemented foot path. Time passed by, and the showers of hail stone that marked the beginning of Spring, stopped. In the recent years, I've seen hot summer during the month of July. But what still remains in Bangalore is the cool breeze.

For a long time, I thought Bangalore was getting bad over time... and then I moved to Chennai to realize that I was all wrong. The climate in Chennai was worse.
Luckily I now live down the outskirts with lots of trees around my place which make a lot of difference in maintaining a calm weather.

A long day indeed, with way too much work in my hands and not much done as yet. Perhaps, I'd fall asleep in a while now as the weather is tempting enough for it.
