I started off for the office with a thudding heart. It was raining yesterday evening, it rained through the night and when I started in the morning it was still raining. That can only mean one thing, and that one thing is trouble.
Running from the Rain
I park my car midway and then travel with a colleague these days. While I was waiting I clicked some pictures. These two blurry figures were running towards the mall in the heavy downpour. I also saw people with all kind of raincoats but the pictures did not come out well.
In that rain, this bird came out and sat on the wire for a long time. I think it is the Kingfisher, looking at the long beak and the colors that were visible to the eye. This was taken with my point and shoot camera which has very ordinary zoom.
Water on the Road, But Where is the Road?
By today evening some of the roads are resembling a canal more than a road. And while I am writing this it is still raining outside. I wonder what will happen by tomorrow if it continues to rain through the night today. Friday is still a working day.
Hi Mridula,Thanks for dropping by my blog… Welcome to my blog dear… Nice to have you there. Do drop in often.. Would love your visits n comments.. :)And Of course, Gods too get so tired after so much of creation, care and destruction and granding our never ending list of wishes… 😀 Lolz…My Travelogue
Yes Mridula, seems to be a white breasted kingfisher.
I understand one must be relaxing at home sipping tea and eating pakodas while watching the rain. :-)I havent seen good rain this year, need to go to Mangalore to see real rain.
Oh my! Hope it doesn't flood up there like the rains in Mumbai. Take care and stay safe
i liked the first photo of the rain! love rain! are the concrete jungles and the lack of proper drainage system causing the troubles or the rains themselve??yes i guess it is a white breasted kingfisher, as wanderer pointed out.
I like the first photo – the greens just pop out!
Trucks isn't visible ???;)

Its been raining here in Lucknow since yesterday.
So that's where the rains disappeared to! Lucky you. I was just getting used to the cooler weather too. I should've known it was too good to last :(BTW, I think you're right… it does look like a Kingfisher to me too. Maybe it was planning to fish in that flooded road?
The bird's got a nice spot for itself.

Oh thats lot of water. But I guess our country needs it a lot.
Yes Priyank I only wish it was not on the road.
Government exported the material meant for building the road to China. Therefore we must avail ourselves by waterproof cars.
Tarun, however much of a relief the rains are commuting is no fun in them.
