Rain Rain Go Away

Well, after the incessant rain, a few things happen that makes the joy of Rains melt, even flood away. :(

It continued raining through the Lunch time.. and what happened?

All those who Go out and eat had to stay in and chose to have their lunch at our canteen. This additional burden was not well handled by the canteen fellow, he messed up.. so by the time us "regulars" reached the canteen there was no more plain rice, fried rice.. and the Pooris were coming in a trickle.

This made him cook up some plain rice fast, which left the rice half cooked. Overall result is that I am now sitting at my desk, letting people know that Rain is not always good and staring at a pack of good day biscuits and Tropicana juice.

Few other effects of Excessive rainfall:

• Clogged Drains
• Dirty Roads
• Spotted Clothes (especially the back)
• Flooding
• Traffic Jams (as most two wheelers are trying to find shelter)
• and Boring Blog

Rain Rain Come Again

Rains!!

Always bring a joy to me. It is raining right now!!

Heavy, fat rain drops falling through the sky with nothing to interrupt them. Making a wall of raindrops. Imagine, when it is raining one can join a particular set of raindrops in a straight line and the plane in which this line resides forms a wall. You can make innumerable lines like these and thus corresponding walls along with them. Too much geometry and planar imagination? OK!

The heavy raindrops fall through the sky unstoppable.. or so they think.. stopped by earth and its various protrusions. A few drops collide with flowers resting on a tall tree. The flowers get dislodged from the branches and it is a rain of flowers under the tree. A few drops collide with the feathers on the wings of various birds, I can see pigeons and eagles from here. A few raindrops splatter onto the solar panels of the water heaters on the roofs of houses around here.

The water slides down the surface of the panel, assuming the shape of a cascade.

Bikers who stopped over getting ready to start as the rain recedes. And I watching from the comfort of the office, pity those drivers because the rain has started again!!

I always imagine how many raindrops fall on me, during a ride in rain. Will the number increase if I go faster? (for a distance of X) or will they remain constant. Considering that driving at lower speed will keep you that much longer in the rain, thus increasing the number of drops on you. Personally I prefer going faster, reaching the place of shelter and changing clothes or wiping myself.

Well do share what thoughts run through your mind when it rains :)
