What's the exact feeling you get when you spend the first half of the day dejected, open the window shutter and screens in the evening to find a lovely golden glow outside! Not the gold of your daily sunset, but that which bathes the buildings, roads and trees under a dark and cloudy sky.
Ready for rain! Relief! Something I long for after these months of sweltering heat and sweat. Something that makes me leave the windows open in spite of mosquito fear, and smell the air...rain smells!
It drizzled. Heavily. And then soberly. But it drizzled yes, sweeping the cemented and asphalted earth with its wet warmth.
It's against poetic norms, but the cloudy gloom that set in this evening actually lifted my spirits a bit. For, it brought in life....fresh smells. A fresh season. Those precious new moments when I watch the new mother cuddle up her baby at the window and talk to it!
Never mind those Met warnings that splashed the tabloid front page.
I long for the thunder. Showers...for that drench in unprocessed water straight from heavens, that feels a lot cleaner than chlorinated tap water.
Summer's been hectic. Summer brought in togetherness. It brought in sorrow too. But rains are what nurture the earth. Me the invisible speck included.

I chanced upon your blog and found it very informative. The event blogs are striking enough to have a feel of the event, so, I would like to have a little chit-chat on your blogging interests. And even we are coming up with an event on startups on June 6th. So, can I have your contact details? Looking forward to hear from you.
