Bangalore Showers ...

Come the second half of April and the customary showers to clean-up Bangalore are on. A nature’s lineament that has a task of cleansing the year round material n emotional filth that scar our city. The shower probably delayed its arrival by a couple of days on purpose .......... knowing the kind of tribute we pay for our fellow men. Well we did need nature to do the clean-up act, for all the blood that shed and the fire that blazed, which probably gave a “complex” to the sun god, making him pack his bags n hide behind the clouds. Anywayz, A nice Saturday afternoon to bring us some chill after days of burning sun n city was always welcome. Rain surely did bring a smile back on Bangalore, added to the great Indian win in “doosra Lagaan” scripted by Bangalore’s own boys rahul n robin.....

Nostalgia did made its rounds..... by the smell of mud, making me kick the footwear to get a naked touch of the nature’s finest gift…… But the mind and heart cudn’t want to do justice to it........ as was partly occupied with the thoughts of the 8 souls n other 243 spited ones, which were not as ‘worthy’ as the one they gave tribute too.

Bangalore…. did show its “true” colors, to give reality a check, after years of talks jus around its silicon valley status…

At times like these.... I think...the city never sleeps ……. it can’t ….. in shame…. as all that we do ..... is to think bout it, talk bout it .... n finally forget it.... i guess nature needs to do a clean-up on our minds too..........
