It was a nice and hot day as usual because we were not having any monsoon rains so it was dry too. I wanted it to change but just because i thought so it wont happen. Well i asked my dad to drop me to office for a change because i don't travel by tempos in this hot and sultry weather as it harms my skin a lot.
In the office i went through my daily routine of teaching kids and then having lunch reading, novel and finally drawing a diagram for one of the kid's project. While doing so the sky clouded and it became windy. it began to rain and storm all of a sudden. i was happy to see the change. It was a terrible storm but beautiful.. yes in my opinion beautiful. The landlady (she is old) she stepped out in the rain enjoying it. I felt as if she is remembering her childhood days or something.I wanted to do the same but i din't have spare clothes.Then a sudden gust of wind sent her in and i stood watching at the rain and storm for a while and went inside to complete the drawings.
Then it stopped. Everything was wet and cool. My boss didn't turn up so i waited for the students and told them that the coaching was off and started off for home.
The environment looked washed out and beautiful and so green. The rickshaw got stuck in traffic jam and i felt after 1 year wishing that i was on bike with someone. somehow it took me 1/2 hr to reach the tempo stand. then i waited for tempo to turn up but so many passed by and all were full. So i walked to power house where stuck in jam i saw a tempo in which only one girl was sitting and it was going near my destination. i sat in it and thanked my lucky stars.
wherever we turned there was a fallen tree and broken electricity line. It was a chaos all over the city. The tempo guy didn't know the different routes and we guided him. He informed us that he was low on CNG. I cursed my bad day but then somehow we reached the destination and i walked the way back home to find no electricity. The whole city was blacked out. There was news of fallen trees, people injured and lots of bad stories. In turn i thought if there would have been more trees in the city may be this must not have happened. Whatever wrong is done by the man later on falls on him.
awww...it could have been worse :(
