The monsoon has washed the the whole of Kolkata and every street is dripping with the sky squeezed out yet the angry clouds relents to subsidize. Although it's really an impressing time for a hot humid place like Kolkata it's really disappointing that the enjoyment lasts only till you step outside. With potholes adoring the city streets and the occasional choked sewers donating it's share of filth into the main street, you can only care for hygiene as much as Tusshar Kapoor cares for a good Box office collection.
The vehicles are adamant about safe driving (not in a good way, though) and small cars especially the auto-rickshaws caress the streets in such a yielding manner that whenever you take the road be it foot path or highway, it's their way; you are constantly reminded of that by honking horns and accidental stoppages in places not meant for the stop only showers you harassment and then the spills. Yes try to imagine the scenario: you are walking in a rain-laden street of kolkata (no matter where, it's same every where; with Behala leading the pack perhaps) and vehicles are zooming beside you and when you try to overtake a pothole completely unaware of an incoming auto or a bus you get spilled by the vehicle that goes over the water filled hole. You'll find yourself in this situation for sure at least once in any monsoon season. you can only show dismay and go on with your business after all it was your fault you didn't see the car coming from the back. So although the rains do provide you a relief of temporary measure, a monsoon wedding isn't a happy affair for every one.
And since the topic of rains have dripped her let me express my genuine concern for the people pf Uttarakhad and Uttar-kasi for the monstrous flood that have ruined the regular life of people there ad the condolences are reserved for lives lost. Many are trapped there and it's a difficult and scaring-ly tragic situation with all the rehabilitation process going on. one video is doing the rounds of Youtube, by one of the correspondent of a leading newspaper, that of a multi-storied building collapsing like a pack of cards. It's breathtaking but sad as well.
And again i am sorry for my absence from blogging. I feel like I am missing this session, the sharing of thought. Whatever blah blah is going on here is exclusively mine and I like it. What about you guys..
Keep living and happy reading. Happy monsoon....
