‘Lo people!
These are some outta focus shots taken from my camera phone in a moving rickshaw on my way to Bandra station, at 7:30pm on June 7, 2010. A fateful evening when Mumbai witnessed among its first showers of blessings for the year doh hazaar das (which was becoming doh ‘hazar-dous’ without the rains). The rainshower lasted all of ten minutes but hey! Presto! We see little water tanks ’flooding’ the streets already.
But the weather put me in such a good mood, I swear I was grinning like an absolute idiot on my way home from office. After the heat and pasina assault for MONTHSSS ….. the poultice effect of the cool wind on my face, the yellow flickering candle-flame sky, the slush-slush and woosh-woosh of my rick plonking ahead, the feel of a cool drop or two on my palm….t’was truly a blessing.
Small mercies, I say! :) Praise the Lord.
Nice snaps. Captures your mood more
Thankyou, Naresh! :) Good you added the ‘mood’ line, as the snaps by themselves are, well, quite horrendous…bumpy auto rides in B’bay zindabad ;)
the bumpy tide adds to the mood!! I have been thrown around quite often there :)
