So I step out of the house this morning for an appointment. It looked like a lovely morning. The sun was shining in the sky. There were some clouds floating about. I can feel the heat on my face as I walked.
And then it began to drizzle. At first there were isolated drops. then the drops came down a little faster. Before I could get to the stop, they were hitting my almost dry hair quickly but the drops were just trickles.
And the sun continued to shine.
When I got to my colleague's house, the drizzle had stopped and I had to stay under a tree across from their gate because it was getting hot. Finally, I got in and we went about our business.
When I was ready to leave, we realized that it was actually raining. Well, I had no umbrella so my host lent me one. When I alighted from the jeep at my own stop, the rain had completely gone. I walked home, had lunch and washed the dishes before I went out again for my afternoon meeting.
It was just past noon so the sun was coming down hard on my head as I stepped out of the train station. The meeting took almost three hours. When I came out of the building, I realized that it had rained really hard while we were inside. But then, as I walked back to the station, the sky was really clear.
Wonder when it will rain again.

Rains in May
Unofficially, the rainy season has began over here. The little insects told us that. Usually, they flock inside and hug the indoor lights just before the storms start coming one after the other. Well, they have been around two days this week and within a span of a week, we have had two typhoons already.
I remember as a kid, we used to anticipate the first rain in May. It was supposedly good luck to bathe in that first major shower. It used to come late in the month though.
It's still the first week of May and we already have heavy rains. As I'm typing this, there is a downpour outside.
Actually, all summer long, I have had to bring an umbrella in case it suddenly showers. I've been leaving it behind because of the early morning sunshine only to get trapped into staying somewhere because of the rain.
I wonder if it will be sunny by September.
