Mount Abu freezes at -2

                    Greeting from the Abode

Most of last week the night temperature hovered round zero, yesterday it went to -1 and this morning it hit -2. If anyone heading this way carry your woolies. 

Temp this morning

Monsoons in the Abode Mt. Abu

The monsoons have finally declared their initial charisma in the Abode. Dawn was covered with a dense shroud of mist, and then the rain came pouring down.

 I took a drive to Delwara and returned via town to appraise the situation, it was BAD, the roads in most places we're waterlogged, thank to contractors who used the side of the roads to dump tractor loads of debris. The stench all around was sickening, the temporary covered pot holes now exposed reminded me of the craters I had viewed on the moon through a friends telescope.

Its time the people of this Grand semi-hill station aired their voices and grievances to see that this place is restored to its former glory of being "GREEN N CLEAN"

How long it will take? Well most would, shrug and say, It's only a pipe dream. Man wake up, you know how the wheels churn, real slow through the mud and grime.

The lights blinked off early in the morning and only returned in the evening, the area around Delwara is still without lights and it’s a bet they will only be restored sometime tomorrow, hope this end hold or we’ll be back to lighting candles and having our dinner by candle light. “Imagine candle light dinner”. Three Cheers for the Advent of the monsoons in the Abode.
