Scraps Stuffs - Random musings from apun ka desh

According to the met department, the monsoon "officially" arrived in Bangalore yesterday, almost two weeks before the scheduled date. Appropriately, it grew dark in the afternoon and started raining. Somehow it seemed a different kind of rain. I can't explain it but it felt softer than the pre-monsoon showers.

A stiff breeze has been blowing for about a week or ten days now. Last year too, it had started about two weeks before the monsoon arrived and the breeze didn't let up until late September.

The sky was beautiful around sunset today. Mostly shades of the loveliest blue I have seen for a long time. Yesterday, in contrast, it was aquamarine, green, pink, orange, shades of gray and white. And a faint rainbow!

Watching the sky from our bedroom window is a treat I look forward to every weekend. The sky never ceases to amaze and enchant me. When there are clouds, I know that there will be a riot of colours in the sky, just waiting to be appreciated.
