School Year Begins
It is back to academics time in Kerala. Schools which were closed for the midsummer vacation has just re-opened. Usually this season is accompanied by incessant rains with the onset of monsoon. This time however rain gods seems to be bit reluctant. As per the met dept, a few days delay is not of very much concern. Lets hope that rains are going to be quite normal this season so that kids can play a bit in the poodles around. There was a time when school going kids went walking from home to school through the ill-maintained roads. It was fun to play in the little 'ponds' in the road potholes. Normally the water will be brownish & it will leave a stain on clothes. Alas the present middle class generation goes to school and comes back by bus, car, auto rickshaw & what not.They definitely miss the fun.
It is pretty hot here in vizag for the past week. There is an unprecedented heatwave which has resulted in even deaths. It is said that this is the hottest summer of the decade. Hope monsoon comes soon to Kerala so that we at Vizag can hope to get some reprieve soon
