A Friday that starts with dark clouds. A otherwise routine and hectic day but well, I can see dark clouds gathering overhead. Is it that these dark clouds mean heavy rains are about to come? Well I am keeping my fingers crossed. What's up at your end?

No rain this week. But it is gonna pour starting next week. When it rains here, i usually wear my raincoat and keep doing my own business. Back in india, we would usually go to the terrace and enjoy the winds while looking at the rolling dark clouds. Sometimes, we would even make fritters and eat them with the whole family while talking about different stuff. I miss those days.

@Anqaya It was kind of a Pakora stuffed in a Bread "kind of Sandwich". Such innovations abound in our homes !! Today is warm and sunny although not too humid.

@Anqaya It's the Monsoon time but we do have warm and humid days during the monsoons as well. Today's high is around 35 C and low probably 24 C. But unlike yesterday, there are no clouds today.

dark clouds don't always signify heavy rain, it hasn't rained here in weeks.

@May2k8 Oh that's bad. Drought conditions are bad for crops as well as for overall available water.
