Monsoon is here... 

The monsoon finally arrived in Bangalore last Friday (10/6), six days behind schedule. It started raining in the evening and the rains were distinctly different from the pre-monsoonal thunderstorms. For one, there was minimal lightning and even less thunder. Then there was a steady rain rather than the intense but short thunderstorms of the earlier rains.

Lots of gusting winds from the south-west.

But then the monsoon played truant the next two days and I don't know what today will bring, more rain or no rain at all. Considering that the weathermen have predicted 24% less rains in June and a 10% deficit in July, I'm not very hopeful that it will rain much this month. Anyway Bangalore gets just 522 mm of rains on an average every monsoon so it doesn't rain here very much.

This year the progress of the monsoon has been very tardy, it hasn't even set in, in the North East as yet!

Anyway how does it matter it rains or not, I am going to stay in ac room
But it used to matter to my father who like other farmers of india waited eagerly for monssons.He is not a farmer anymore, maybe he's cursing the rain this time for not being able to go out freely.

nice post
 
Well, idli ideas, apart from all that the rains entail, I like watching the rains. Besides when its raining, Bangalore looks much better. The problem starts only when it stops raining!
