Rain meter

This window that looks out to the "magic mountain" is my rain meter in the monsoons.  The South west monsoons which arrive in Kerala last days of May go on till September. Onam usually heralds a tentative closing of the monsoon festival. Then it is wait for the "Thula-varsham" towards end of October with the arrival of north east monsoon which is not as bountiful as the south west.

As I look out on waking up , I spy the kind of day it might turn out to be be. Can see  them  coming  together .,, dark clouds .. sometimes almost a tempest.. sometimes a gentle gathering .,, after a spate of rains ..clear skies with a hint of sunlight is a welcome sight too. and then there are the dramatic nights with thunder and lightning adding to the spectacle. and then there is the descent .. sometimes in gentle waves,, others a roaring arrival and the steady fall or the constant drizzle.. always a heart warming spectacle.. The rains.

Rain watching is almost a hobby for me ! 

Just sitting by the box  window to see the beauty unfold is one of the blessings I cherish !
