This year the rains have been late beyond expectations. Every year,
by 15th July I've had enough of rains, enough of the dull grey
atmosphere and enough of wet days. But this year the sun shined brightly
till mid July, and people awaited heavy rains with anxiety. I woke up
to the pitter-patter of rain, first time this season a few days ago. The
feeling was awesome! Stirring up to consciousness and realizing its
raining. Then, shifting in to a comfortable position, lying under my
cozy warm blanket and drifting to a half asleep state to the hum of
raindrops. It was heavenly.
Finally making an effort to
get out of bed, I pull up the curtains and let the faint monsoon
sunlight stream in. I smile. I open the windows wide open and stare out.
It is breathtakingly beautiful! I'm awestruck with the minute details
that mark the beginning of monsoon and also that make this mundane world
pretty. I hop to my shelf and bring out my camera, oblivious to the
freshness in the air, oblivious to how the change in weather makes me
feel serene, calm and happy...
Below are the few shots I
took. They don't capture monsoon as a whole season but I've tried
capturing the things that made my eyes twinkle the day I woke up to the
first heavy rains of the season. :)

| I love the way the buildings seem to fall down down upside down through the drops! |

| Saw these beautiful pearls curled up the raining, the moment I woke up |
|
 |
| A tear of happiness? |
