The storms and beyond ..

The last 4 days we've been witnessing storms every evening in Bangalore. The pattern is so typical - it starts getting windy and there's a dust storm like gale - the temperature drops like crazy and then it hails and rains.

The worst was day before yesterday. 2 Trees and an electric pole fell in our street. The we had a power cut that lasted 29 hours :(((( .. The night and early morning were manageable - the air was cool and there was a pleasant wind blowing throughout. But then around 9 AM came the surprise - we ran out of water :( - coz there was no power to pump the water up!

Anyway that was one horrible day. The electricity dept took a whole to put the pole straight up.

Yesterday was another storm. There was a picture in the paper the other day - it seriously looked like the sea - but it turned out to be a road in bangalore.

And all this - before the monsoon has set in !!
