Good Riddance

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the monsoon season is officially over here in Chandigarh. Thank goodness because I was really getting sick of the rain. Go figure because back in June, all we wanted was rain...anything to relieve us of the 43 degree heat. Then the monsoon came we were saying, "That's a monsoon? I expected so much more." We all figured it would last the month of July and then go away. If only that were true.....

August came and it was still raining...in fact, it rained clear through September. I've heard that this was the most erratic monsoon season in a long time and yet the city still only managed to barely meet rainfall expectations. Now it's October and the temperature is sitting at a cool 34 degrees. I think the mornings are about 22...nice and brisk for a morning shave.

One thing I've noticed is that people are never satisfied with the weather. There always seems to be something wrong. It's either too cold, too hot, too rainy, too humid, too dry, too windy, too smoggy, too foggy...the list goes on. There we were, wishing for the rains to come. When they did, all we could say was "Go away rain, you're not wanted here."
