Rains!!

I love rains..especially here in good old Chennai. There have been days when my mother used to warn me and ask me to carry a raincoat which went unheeded just because I love getting wet in the rain. (It is not like the chilly rains back in the US! ) The rains here bring down the temperature which is soooo welcome!!

For the past few days, it has been raining. Very unseasonal. Madras does not have south-west monsoons…it has north-east monsoons that come later during the year around october-november; generally dampening Deepavali celebrations (btw, hope I got the  names of the directions right…digging it out of my long lost geography texts ) I love it that the sweltering heat has come down a wee bit. I got wet in the rain too one day

Thing is…I don’t know what it is with the weather Gods and laying of our neighbourhood roads. Just when they top the roads, it rains!! Back to square 1 with regards to the state of the roads….Why does it never rain when we want it to? Like life in general I suppose D Nothing occurs when you need it most

Numbers! :)

I remember writing about what my son used to say for eleven…onety!! Now he is a bit older and wiser? so he has learnt to say eleven. The reason for this post is…his numbers now go thus - eleven, twelve, three teen, fourteen, five teen and so on

It does gets you thinking that learning numbers might be easier like this…whoever thought of thirteen and fifteen??!!
