A very wet day in Chennai today.
A heavy downpour that catches you unawares as you head out for work. Waterlogged roads, half-submerged vehicles, drenched bikewallahs running for shelter at bus stops, leaky roofed buses with some shutters missing, share autos with missing window panes, wet seats, wet bottoms, folded but dripping umbrellas, traffic jams, traffic lights that go blink, pools of oil dazzling like rainbows on tarred roads... and then, the sun peeps out of the clouds and smiles while a rainbow arches up the sky and make you forget that one hour of misery you went through.

hi, would u like to change that into snow..and use imagination.. luckily no dripping cars/buses/autos to deal with..
i dealt with shovelling snow yesterday.. now got leaky nose!
Enjoy the cool/water.. i remember those days of sudden down pours.. wet seats/leaky buses/umbrellas dripping water.. if it falls on to someone they glare, shout at u...very few have sense of humour,some look up and see u trying to catch the rod balance and have all u'r bags etc too!and feel how lucky they r sitting.. and offer their help to hold those things for u.
take care ust.
It is -38 degrees here today. I wish I was in Chennai.

It is neither hot nor cold and we are incubating here.....AM
I guess, I just like what is around and all the detailing - wet seats, wet bottoms, folded but dripping umbrellas - it was just too good and so true.
cheers and I must now add links to all your blogs.
cheers,
