Excessive rainfall from yesterday morning

On Rakshabandhan on 13 th it was generally bright and sunny.Next morning I woke up at 5:30 with the pitter-patter of rain.It continued raining,when I went upstairs I was welcomed by a heavy drizzle and cold wind.It continued raining throughout the day turning into heavy downpour now and then.It really scared me when the roads turned into rivers with knee-deep water.A big pond adjacent to our house overflowing.The books kept in polythene upstairs were drenched,removed them from their place and kept them on the wooden bed (Takhat).Water seemed to be seeping through the wall,It had last happened three years back.

The park in front has turned into a big Lake.Neighbours are quite dismayed by water logging and apprehensive about the continuing rainfall.Just few hours back the rain has halted for a bit.Crickets are singing,frogs have been very few this year,Jugnus (Glow-worms) have finally shown up,Other seasonal life-forms too seems to be singing.

Cousin Anjali came to our house on 13 th evening to tie Rakhi.She was quite excited about the heavy downpour and the big Lake in front.Her brother Sooraj spent the day playing video games and brought milk too for us going in the knee deep river road.Abha Mausi cleaned utensils as our maid did not showed up and later she mother and Anjali cooked meal for us.Today somehow the cook and maid managed to come for it was still inclement weather in the morning.I gave a belated birthday present to Sooraj a Micromax Q1+ Phone.He was quite happy about it.They went in noon and it started raining immediately after,hope they managed safely to home.
