Conceiving of tropical cyclone seems to be formality before onset of monsoon. This cyclone turns destructive in few areas and at the same time hinders smooth outset of monsoon. The cyclone shadow areas need to bare blistering heat for couple of days or more before cyclone finally dissipates. This year we have Vayu swirling over the waters of Arabian sea which is exhibiting eccentric behavior by changing paths. The cyclone which was all set to hit Gujarat abruptly turned direction towards Gulf. Even though big relief for Gujarat region, its prolonged presence is spoiling the smooth onset of monsoon. The met department is confident that this activity will not last longer than 2 days and later monsoon will be on track.
But who knows! The nature has its own formula. Past 5 years shows declining monsoon trend in coast. The tantrums of monsoon is unpredictable. Only at times Monsoon pours with might to teach mankind a lesson. Otherwise, it has been slacking off over the years. The roaring july monsoon nowadays is elusive. This year monsoon is no different story. Its onset has been quite enigmatic & absurd. The presence of Vayu brought heavy rains in coast for couple of days blooming hopes of coastal areas which were reeling under arid weather. Unfortunately, the rains subsided as Vayu moved northwards. Even MET office is confused whether monsoon is actually onset or not. The MET office has already declared onset of monsoon over coastal karnataka. However, it looks like that declaration was mere influence of cyclonic activity. It is still unclear if northern limit of monsoon has crossed Kerala. Hopefully the monsoon will recharge as expected in coming days and bring cheers to people of India.
Back in Bangalore, the cloud activity has reduced. The density of clouds in plateaus invariably hints at intensity monsoon activity along west coast and ghat areas. The presence of clean skies over Bangalore implies subdued monsoon activity. As last week, this time also the light was beautiful which tempted me to grab few shots at Rachenahalli lake. During our long walk around Rachenahalli lake with my friend, I managed to capture few azure shots to satisfy my photography soul. This is not captured out of my excitement rather to display moaning for reduced monsoon activity. There were few lazy clouds hovering over the skies but nowhere near to be qualified as rain bearing clouds. There was beautiful sunset too but could not capture since we were in other part of lake during those hours.
There was huge band of clouds raising from western horizon but they magically vanished in minutes.
