Is Rain angry at us ??



Mother Nature angry with us all ??

Rain  Is Moody, If Not Angry ?? She(monsoon) was supposed to be here by now, but changed the plan and went absconding .  Is this delay of Monsoon the result of Global warming ?? Rain was good before, and was on time, until Mankind played with Mother Nature. Remember we have only one Planet to live on. So lets learn to live in harmony with Mother nature.
 
It has been 15 days since it Rained first and unusually for July season, no sign of it coming back. Dry spells loom large over the area. The much awaited rains are nowhere tobe seen, it look’s like Rainy season is late this year. On daily basis clouds gather in the sky to tease us, blinks at us and vanishes without coming down . This has caused lot of pain to me. Its not the Hot & Humid weather Iam worried about, but the fate of Farmers who have already sowed their seed's and eagerly waiting to see their land in wet. Thought of those farmers who are on verge of losing this season crop bring's unbearable pain unto me.
 
As I travel to my Home Town during my Weekends , I spend quite a time standing at Train door watching the country side. As for my eye cud see, the paddy/cotton fields are empty on both the sides of railway track. I’am sadden to see farmers toiling in fields  and Rain playing a spoil sport with his destiny. Farmer have planted paddy/cotton just after the first rain hit the soil , but because of no rain in fortnight they are forced to “replant” the seeds, this has burdened their budget heavily. My poor farmers who feed the country live in very extreme conditions.  If those hovering clouds show some mercy and come down before the end of this month, which I expect it will, then my farmers are saved.

When first Rain hit the ground, I was jubilant and my heart danced in happiness. As I said in my old post, I loved those pitter-platter noise of Rain. Little did I know then, that it can with held its journey toward me and cause me the trauma. All these years I thought someone I knew since ages, is the only fickle minded in this Universe, now it looks like she has the company of Rain, that makes TWO in my life.

As I sit at my office desk and see light dimming outside thru the tinted window glass panes, I come out of office, in hope of rainfall. I scramble my neck and turn my face towards those clouds hanging above to come down and kiss my face. It did come but not in the number, I wanted. It was just for brief, drizzled and stopped for no particular reason. Now it has become a routine job daily morning for me to watch Satellite pictures and Weather report in anticipation of Rain. These weather reports have become a big joke and mocking. No one these days take seriously Met-Dept broadcasting of rainfall day after day, as those reports never materializes.

O' My Rain , My Beautiful Rain, do come down once. You been blinking at me for a fortnight now, but never come down to be with me . Pl unlock the skies and start pouring over me. Let my Heart quicken by your presence . Come down to bring smile on my face, Come down to quench the thirst of soil, Come down to enrich it with green vegetation and Come down to make the destiny of my poor farmers. O’ my Beautiful Rain, Please come down once.

Telangana 'Vanta Varpu' huge success, Lakhs of Hyderabadi's came on to streets.

Hyderabad Hamara Hain !
Telangana Ka Shaan Hain !!


Politicians, Freedom fighters, Businessmen, Govt Employees, Teachers, Civil right activists, Daily laborers,  Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, IT professionals and students came along with their families together on Hyderabad's roads Sunday for 'vanta vaarpu' or a cook-and-eat agitation to demand a separate Telangana state. Hundreds of  thousands people from all walks of life set up kitchens on roads, cooked food and ate it. Men joined hands with women in helping cutting vegetables , preparing breakfast and lunch at several places in the city . This programme turned up to be a big hit , Stoves were lit in 1500 different places in Hyderabad & Secunderabad and in a rough estimation more than 20,000 stoves were lit to feed the Telangana protagonists.

Thousands of stoves were lit on the roads of HYD as part of "Hyd Cooks on the Roads" . An estimated 3-4 lakh Hyderabadi's have participated in this novel protest . Such a big number of community kitchens on roads in one particular city has never happened any time, anywhere on this planet Earth . This is some kind of World Record, and an eye opener to Seemandhra plutocrats . Interesting thing is most of them carried their own domestic gas stove and other groceries, vegetables to their nearest road. Men who never make their own Tea/Coffee at home were seen helping their wives in cutting vegetables and stirring the curry/rice on stove.

In Banjara Hills?Jubilee Hills Constituency and at Basvataraka cancer hospital almost 1000 stoves were lit . At Gun Park more than 800 stoves were lit to cook food. If this is the number at these Junction's , then Imagine how many thousands of stoves mite be burning on sunday in other parts of Hyd city .

The world history has recorded the French and Russian revolution, where the respective governments never cared for the demand of democratic self rule and ignored the majority . American revolution was the result of Colonist approach of England(Europe) where it simply looted their resources and levied heavy taxation . Now the world history has a new chapter under the category of revolution and that is of Telangana revolution, it has the aura of all the above revolutions. Like French & Russian revolution there is every chance that 'Czars' of Seemandhra govt being overthrown in a civilian “Coup”. History repeats itself coz most people are ignorant of its lessons.

Who said Telangana war is over ? The real war has just started. Tens or perhaps Hundred’s of thousands have took to the streets of Hyderabad on Sunday to express their solidarity with  Telangana warriors. After watching the pictures on my TV screen , I can say with  authority that there’s something in AIR in Telangana . A ‘Fury’ which I and many people in my region can sense it .That can lead to an big explosion which will burn the present dictatorial regime seems to be inevitable , unless the demand for separate state is fulfilled . Compared to Million March , a better sense seems to have prevailed over Seemandhra Police. Like last few months this time they did not dared to unleash state-terror which wud have the consequences of violent , entrenched and impudent and may have led to horrible results.

The sudden rise of Telangana tide in Hyderabad city on Sunday has blocked the minds of SA-Media & Seemandhra Plutocrats. They never expected such a high uprising for Telangana in an cosmopolitan Hyderabad city.  The questions that continued to disturb them are : How cud T-JAC organise ‘Cook and Eat’ program on such a massive scale ? How cud Hyderabad middle class people comprising women who are always shy to participate in any protest ever have sided with the Telangana revolutionaries on Sunday ?? How the unity was achieved in the class driven society , that from IAS officers to Hamali’s (daily wagers) dined , danced ,cheered , clapped  for Telangana cause, forgetting their Class disparities?  In their hearts, SA-Media & Plutocrats now acknowledge that this revolution is one of the biggest seismic event in Independent India , that has devastating effect to uproot their corrupt-dictatorial regime from Telangana .

 The narcissistic propaganda of SA-Media that Telangana sentiment has no place in cosmopolitan like city Hyderabad , now stands shattered with the success of ‘Vanta Varpu’(cook & eat on streets) program .The chains of slavery induced by Seemandhra Plutocrats in Hyderabad city is now seen broken by the Telangana revolutionaries . The high rise of tide of “self rule” is very much evident today on the streets of Hyderabad with the massive participation of civil society in “Vanta-Varpu” (cook & eat on streets) .  With grand success of Vanta-Varpu , the morale of Telangana revolutionaries is understandably  very high, for their noble cause of self rule , dignity , and freedom of their region.

The greatest achievement of this ‘Vanta-Varpu’ is that , though lakhs of people have come out on to streets not one Seemandhra felt insecure or threatened . Its worth a mention that many of Seemandhra settlers in kukatpally ,Ameerpet & LB Nagar  have voluntarily participated in Vanta-Varpu and extended their support for Telangana cause. This has clearly exhibited that ordinary Semmandhraite living for their livelihood in Hyderabad has no reservations of what so ever against Telangana formation .

Seemandhra governmet has tried its level best to create the obstacles by warning of stern actions if stoves are lit on streets , but that dint stopped Telanganite’s to come on to streets.  There will be more obstacles created by Seemandhra regime on the way to Telangana formation, but make no mistake all such obstacles will be overcome by the Telangana Warriors triumphantly. With this kind of spirit, Telangana will be Free from Slavery very soon .

The T-JAC has chalked out strategy by meeting localities across the Hyderabad . Nearly 5 Lakh Hyderabadi’s are expected to participate in this novel protest program.

This novel protest will be replicated during Rail roko agitation in coming days . Protestors will erect make shift Kitchens on all the railway tracks and stop the movement of Trains Indefinitely. There are plans to lay siege of HYD on par with March 10th Million March in coming days. Lakhs of Telanganite’s  from 10 Districts, wud march towards HYD to lay siege and liberate it forcefully from the clutches of Seemandhra plutocrats  .

My Beatiful Rain .

Thank You, My Beautiful Rain !!!

I have seen clouds gathering in sky , Dark clouds have descended over the city. It rained heavily, first rain of the season was bit stormy this morning . Rain is one of the few things that make me Happy. Rainy days are lovely, Its pure pleasure for me. It makes my mood , it unlocks  passion . I am always mesmerized by rain fall. And just to make me Happy , Rain is here, Thank You, My Beautiful Rain .

Wot a relief, when rain drops touches your skin after hot blistering summer. It really awesome feeling to get drenched in rain and  have all the fun , where as others run to hide under shelters. I also love sitting inside, watching the rain trickle down my window, as I listen to my favourite music and bite hot bajjiya and pakora’s (eateries) with a cup of hot tea.

After scorching heat and dust now its play time to get drenched in rain . The coolness just before and after rain fall is so soothing. Its so refreshing . How beautiful is this 'City Shower' which is taking away the heat, dust and bringing much needed coolness. And when Rain rinses your hair it is a diff feeling altogether. I love those droplets when they fall and kiss your face . And I enjoy seeing water dripping down drop by drop from Leaves tip , that’s a treat to eye’s . Not to forget Rain brings beautiful Rainbow .
  
I'am an 'avid' rain sniffer, I sniff  the smell of mud as long as its in Air . I like smell of mud after rain, it’s my all time favourite. It smells good after first rain hits the soil. When Smell of the mud hits my nostrils instantly creates the mood and is just earth-shattering and life altering . There's no match to this smell of mud . I always have a strong urge to 'bottle it' (smell of mud) and save it .

Rain in cities when falls on parked cars, canopies, on tin roofs, it is  very noisy but musical. It’s mother nature’s music, its so original .  The sound rain makes while touching the ground is like a soothing music to ears, blissfully,  its natures own musical concert . It’s the most beautiful sound ever I heard , I like the pitter-patter noise of rain. The feel is too good !!   There is something romantic about Rain, which I’am not able to express it , its not easy to explain .

The first Rain in cities , I was told is bit hazardous and Acidic coz of rampant pollution. So it better to stay inside and watch thru window, rather to get drenched in acidic rain and get sick. So sometimes science knowledge can play spoil sport.

I remember my childhood days when I was  not allowed to go out in rain by my parents . I cud not understand then why they stop me, but was always miffed at not being allowed to drench and get wet. Whenever it start to rain, I wud always sit by the  side of window and watch drops tickling down the window and rivulets forming . Once the rivulets form, I use to hope for Rain to stop , so that I can make paper boats and see it navigating in those rivulets . Not just rivulets , I also loved puddles , I always watched my own reflection in those puddles and throw small pebbles to watch my reflection as ripples formed. When I get bore watching Rain , I wud count thunders/lightening .

As a child those funful memories of walking in rain, splashing in puddles are still fresh in mind . Rain during schooldays was a good excuse to bunk school and stay at home, do nothing. I remember once I asked my father what was the rattling/rumbling sound during the lightening in sky . May be then he was in a funny mood and said its “Ratham" (chariot) of Lord Krishna and Arjuna , both are passing by and that’s the sound of Ratham wheels “ . I really believed it until my science teacher explained me . Even today when I hear that rattling/rumbling sound, first thing that strikes my mind is of Lord Krisha’s Ratham.

  Unlike Coastal Andhra , here in Telangana,  Rain is not that strong or windy. But at times, as a result of squalls, trees are uprooted and power supply gets disrupted, still it(squalls) clears of very easily.  With hot humid summer gone now  we don’t need to close all window’s and turn on A/c , that in turn burns our pocket . Hereafter we all can sleep cool(good) with windows open and fresh cool air gushing in .

With first rain of the season hitting the ground, I’am signing off with windows open for a cool breeze to take over me for a gud nite sleep. I wish you guys sleep good too !!
