rain.

murderous in bombay. 972 people. thousands of animals. i refuse to conform to the rule of 3.
non existant in chennai. a source of livelihood to thousands of corrupt metro water lorry drivers. back doctors. and little boys who will carry your kodams for 5 rupees.
threatening in london. will it. won't it. an overcast sky that teases like some bar dancer. showing tantalising glimpses of the blue sky beneath.

Ummm ... nice blog, lady.

Two questions.

1 - what IS a kodam?

2 - If you live in London, why do you spell 'non-existent' the American way?

Nice touch about the London skies. Almost Pink Floyd, somehow.'
