Scribble 10:42 AM 4/2/2008 : After the rains..

Well, the clouds did deliver after that, and we saw close to a week of rains! Not only in this part of Karnataka, but in Kerala and TN too. It was heartening to see heavy rains and thunderstorms all of a sudden. However the unseasonal rains caused great damage to the crops and crores were lost in the deal. It was nearing harvest time for paddy, for example, and imagine the plight of farmers when they see their ready-to-harvest crop washed aground in the rains. Very sad.

I drove with family to Karkala and Kudremukh on a rainy Sunday. The trip was very rewarding, the sights a treat to the eyes.
