We are into August month and finally monsoon is showing presence all over Karnataka. The western ghats are shrouded with thick nimbus clouds and its deluge everywhere. The glory of monsoon is back but not without tale of destruction. In my native too its torrential rains with gusty wind. The electric pools are uprooted and restoration taking more than 2 days. The village is blacked out for longer time. The malnad region is under severe beating by monsoon rains. The Ashlesha star looks like is pouring deficit of past months all at once. Hopefully my exaggeration does not result in an immediate dry spell :-) (a pinch of jinx). The rivers are invading human habitats. There is barrage of murkier water all through western ghats. The monsoon is swelling the reservoirs. Overall its good and bad news, perhaps a more of latter one. The destruction caused by the relentless rains is astronomical. The rains which needed to distributed across months are pouring in span of few weeks which is increasing the casuality level. Hopefully, the distribution remains even in subsequent monsoon seasons.
While the western ghats are drenched in rains, there has been mere cloud activity is Bangalore from past week. Intermittent drizzles were only hope. Today morning, it rained with slightly more intensity but not enough. It was enough to obstruct office goers since the timing of rain was around 9AM. Bang on time! I too delayed my commute to office by 45 mins till rains completely subsided. Two wheeler riding is not so easy with bad roads and drizzling weather. In the interim, I captured these droplets again. The light was bit intense due to the raising day and hence 1/160 shutter culminated in stable pictures despite the shaky arms. The droplets over the flower and foliage was pleasing to capture and was satisfied with the result.
