3 days in a row...
The Sun is shining down on Mumbai.
The skies have emptied their largesse over the last 4 months and have no more to drench us with.
It is nice to feel the sun beating down your neck.The dusty streets have never looked this welcoming.

And now we approach October heat!
There shall be cribbing about the intolerable heat in 2 weeks now.
Its amazing how short-lived human memory and satisfaction is. We shall always ask for what we don't have. We shall consistently forget how much we yearned for the very thing we crib about.
Sigh! Human Nature.

A few days ago...3am. The rain pounding the tetrapods as i got out and stood looking at the sea.

I could see lightning at a distance arcing away into a cloud, it was awesome.

Of all things i have ever wanted to do .. this was one of them. I felt great standing there, not because i was doing what i was but because i had control over my life.

Human Nature is mostly about control among other things. We may need totally opposite things to the ones that prevail and we might even have small memory spans but whats central to all this is control.

Realise that and you can tolerate that heat and other cribbing humans around you.

btw: welcome back
