What notable things happened today?

It’s basically too hot to go out during summer in India.

The month of May gets too hot, especially.

The temperature touches between 42 degrees and 45 degrees and the sun beats down on you mercilessly.

But a breather comes in the form of rain. Unusual on a summer day but refreshing to feel the chill in the air for a brief time, thanks to the neighbouring state of Kerala, which normally receives rainfall during May and June. Every year.

I was out doing my routine walking in the evening. And it rained all of a sudden.

You have nowhere to go, run and take shelter. Staying under a tree isn’t an option, as it’s too risky to stand under a tree when it rains accompanied by a thunderstorm.

On seeing the first drop of rain on the first day this year, why should one run so scared? I just continued walking and got completely drenched. 

Wow! What a feeling! 

By the time I reached home, the rain picked up momentum. It is pouring down now in Chennai, Tamilnadu, India.

Getting the rain on a summer month and enjoying walking completely soaked rank today as the most notable moments. 

Thank nature. Thank heavens.
