The Great Indian Monsoon is quite a fascination for me since my childhood. I used to watch the skies of Chennai when I was a kid..and over a period of time, I could recognize, when it could rain by observing the cloud pattern and the movement of clouds .. I used to tell my mother whether it will rain or not on any particular day, though it could be a cloudless and sunny day..
Many times as per my forecast it used to rain in the evening and my mother used to wonder, how I could predict the rain correctly in the morning itself...of course many times, my forecasting goes wrong also...My mother used to tease me to become a weather reporter!!!!
Also one of childhood dream was to see the first arrival of monsoon, the first hitting of monsoon on June 1st at the tip of kerala coast..
fortunately my dream came true this year.. I visited Kerala/ Cape on June 1st, the first day of monsoon hitting the Indian Sub-continent for 2013.. covered Trivandrum, Kovalam, Kanyakumari, Cape, Nagarkoil, papanasam, tenkasi, kuttralam,..just the western side of southern tip as well as the leeward-rainshadow region of western ghats.. some pictures to share..
