talking about the weather

I woke yesterday and felt unmistakably Bangalore-ish. The same cool, breezy wet, gloriously grey weather(too warm for London) got me dreaming of gulmohurs. Later there was a hint of Madras as well -while sitting on the tube and in the library i found myself comfortably perspiring.
I later found that rains visited all three cities yesterday. But while rain in Madras is a deluge - it hammers down on the city with the force of an upside down ocean- in London it is a fine drift falling in slow motion, moisture that floats until it delicately settles on your shoulders. And Bangalore - I remember the rain in Bangalore having a quality that makes you want to run out and dance in it.

    The rain always reminds me of you> In slow-motion or otherwise. Rain in London is foreign, yet you learn to love it. And the tube. How goes girl?

    yes, it is a fine drift in london, sometimes, like it is off-season in the hill stations. i love the way it settles on you hair, like diamonds glinting in the sun!
    howdy?

    cheers!
