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.
