Barging and brawling nimbus clouds

May 11, 2018

The sky began rumbling smoothly here in Bangalore at 5pm. This indicated us to leave the office and reach home at the earliest. En route, I stopped by Rachenahalli lake to grab the picture of barging nimbus clouds. These clouds also behave enigmatic sometimes. The clouds were moving from west to east. Concurrently another storm was brewing at eastern horizon. I was confused if the storm would really hit our place. When I was pondering over the direction of clouds, the troposphere roared and flashed intensely dissuading from further photo-shoot. It was like "Go home you insane human, don't ever try to challenge nature". I had to submit to the warning and consequently rushed to parking area and rode to home safely. As soon as I entered house, the cacophony aggravated and moisture laden nimbus clouds were right beneath our area. Soon it's entourage followed (gusty winds, thunder, lightning) and storm ensued. The clouds were extremely heavy that in a jiffy, they condensed. The roar of heavens lasted for nearly 90 mins with thick droplets. The crashing sound made us feel as if there was intense battle between clouds. The intimidating lightning made us to close the curtains. The windows were trembling. For a moment, I was awestruck by the nature's might. I don't know the reason behind such an intense pre monsoon rain but surely it was the most horrific of the season.






And the sky was like

Don't kill time,
Reach home
before I chime!




And the warnings turned out to be true. The battlefield over troposphere culminated in intense storm shed drenching the city with almost 2 inches of rain.



On Leaving note,

Rain Rain don't go away,
Keep the summer at the bay
