A Weather Change...

I'm just about loving life at the moment here in Pilani. As I compose this entry, I can hear the sound of the rain bearing down in a slow, steady drizzle on the roof of the hostel. I can smell the ethereal aroma of the ground soaked with rain to its core. I can feel the hair on my body pricking up in tingling anticipation as the wind - sometimes harsh, sometimes slightly milder and carrying more than a bit of chill - passes over my skin.

Only the day before today, I was cycling my way for a tutorial in FD III (That's one of the classroom complexes on BITS) and the whole world was swathed in the covering of dense fog. Visibility was about 15 yards at the maximum and as I went along the road, there was nothing to be seen except the road in front, the sidewalk and the surrounding hedge - no sign of the insti building nor of the bhawans (hostels)...At that moment, I found myself having this sudden urge to forget about the looming tests and just leave...leave on a journey...some journey...any journey...

Why then is the weather playing these tricks all of a sudden? I don't know, but boy, am I glad it is!!!
