Bangalore greeted the rains with a sigh of relief today. Judo and I were just about sitting down to lunch when the formidable army of clouds marched upon us. The winds began to whistle through the streets and we stood and watched the magnificence of it all. It is amazing how, in an instant, the heart can do a flip and be unconditionally happy. When everything turns grey, and the storm comes to bang the door shut before you could run to it. You have to hurriedly get the clothes you had put out to dry off the clothesline. Then it would drizzle, through the leaves, on the awnings, in the little rivulets. You would make yourself a glass of hot chocolate, then curl your toes in and just sit there with a book, and a smile.
