A Little Rain
Mar
13
It’s always nice when it rains. The temperature goes down and it’s a nice respite from the perennial scorching heat Chennai is cursed with. The lighting becomes gloomy and it’s easy on the eyes. It also makes it easier to sleep at night. On the other hand it’s harder to wake up in the morning but these days I don’t have to. (The last day of college was yesterday, you see.)
The only problem is all the mud, garbage and whatnot lying around the city turns into a disgusting slush that makes walking absolutely revolting. Sure, you can go by your motor vehicle… if you don’t mind having to send it in for a complete wash at the end of the rains.

What? It’s so much fun walking on the roads after rain. You go hop, hop, hoppity hop from one side of the road to the other. And you have to avoid speeding vehicles from drenching you further too! This is a certified high intense activity for those you already have a good ‘upper body strength’.

There was rain yesterday too. In the morning at around 6:00. (I was on the road walking towards RTO) The first rains are always fun. (especially so, if its light rain)Then the roads all get clogged and theres crap all over the place.
I enjoyed walking in the rain yesterday. My only grouse, it ruined my shoe

@China,
(I don’t know if it was a typo there. You call yourself Chinna or China ?)
Anyway, if you do call yourself China, maybe you should call your blog “Made in China” . Maybe even “Made in Chinna” won’t sound so bad

Arun, should be doing all that hopping with your damaged back?
Karthik, thanks for yet another instalment of horrible puns.

Rain is fun. At least back in Chennai it is. Here if I walk in the rain, I only fall sick soon.
Jeez, people are using Marc’s blog for advertising their own!

Anusha, perhaps you fall sick since French people surrender to illness easily. And China is welcome to use my blog for all the advertising he wants.

China,
That’s alright. I honestly thought it was a typo and you were called Chinna (would be more common
) Nice blog, but you should take my suggestion of renaming your blog seriously

No, you nut. It’s a lot colder here!
Don’t worry China/Chinna, I was only pointing out the obvious. I do that a lot.
