It's Raining, It's Pouring... But No One is Snoring

It’s raining. There’s no current.

Oh, hello, monsoon. Long time, no see.

I didn’t even bring my cute rainboots.

The rain is pounding out side. I can literally see sheets of rain pouring onto the streets.

It looks kind of pretty.

I love the rain. I love the smell of rain. I love the sound the thunder makes. I love the way the sky lights up with flashes of lightning. I even love the feeling of fresh rain dropping on my skin.

But I don’t really love this power outage. It means I can’t watch whatever crappy Hindi movie is on TV. It means my grandmother can’t cook. (So she’s come upstairs and has started talking about what she was going to cook. Not that I mind. This is all incredibly amusing.) It also means that my computer battery will die fairly soon. Man, I hate this computer battery.

Regardless of any pros and cons, this rain does have one trump card. This rain is awesome because it means it will finally cool down around here.

-May 30th

UPDATE: Apparently, my grandmother and uncle woke up at 1 am because the rooftop drains were clogged. (Side note: why are all the roofs flat in a city where it rains for months at a time? Someone didn’t plan that too well.) They had to go up to the roof, in the rain, and unclog the drain. Then they had to come back down and mop up the water. Apparently, there was 3 buckets worth of water on the floor. And apparently, I slept right through all of this.

Apparently, this rain isn’t so awesome anymore.
