31stMay 07'...a typically hot humid n sultry evening...
After the sun was tired shining with all its might
the dusk sky was slowly covered with fleeces of black clouds...Mumbai watched with hopes...
Later evening finally; all hot n scorched mumbai was drenched in the first showers...
surges of lightening accompanied by thunder...suddenly the cool showers seemed to be swallowing all the heat ...
whew............much awaited (i bet) welcome oh rain god :)
Seriously...this time like never b4 i had been eagerly waitin for the arrival of monsoon .
And bingo' there it was...very much on time :)
