rain - seen in different angle.

Rain is one of the most amazing things that i have come across. Don’t you just love that smell in the air when it rains.

Rain is nature’s way of gardening:

When it rains there is bulk water transfer from one region to another. Generally it doesn’t pour hard enough to uproot plants and trees, neither soft enough to hide its presence.

Rain is a continuous space-time process:

Evaporation and Condensation of water is something that keeps on happening in all the places at all the time.

Rain the un-predictable presence:

It’s not possible to exactly predict when its going to rain. But there is always an indication that it’s going to rain beforehand.

Rain the coolant:

After a rain we can notice that the surroundings are suddenly a whole lot cooler. The atmosphere gets a whole lot humid.

Rain and water table:

Rain increases the water table in the earth, the water bodies are re vitalized and this ensures the continued survival of all creatures.

Rain the punctual:

We have a 3 month rainy season where rain is promised every now and then. This helps us to identify a suitable time to sow the seeds and reap the harvest.

Rain the resource:

Though there is plenty of rain water going down the drain, there are new ideas coming up to utilize the resource in the form of rain water harvesting.

Rain the saviour:

It is considered a grace from God generally when it rains in a drought ridden area. A single rain can sometimes bring back a full lush of lost greenery.

The letter to my boss at ESS

The boss at ESS is my uncle. So I decided to write a funny letter anticipating a drastic response, however he simply laughed at the letter.

letter: A brief explanation for being late today

Respected Sir,

                Subject: late to work

I am late to the office today and the reason for being late might seem a bit odd to you, however, it was genuine and before you proceed further, I request would like you to make sure that you are free while reading this letter.

Yesterday when I had left home to have lunch, my slipper got torn in 2 regions so I had to wear my shoes to work yesterday. But when I left home at 8 yesterday, it was raining, and the shoes I had worn got wet. Just as I was about to leave to work today, I noticed that my shoes were still wet, and because of the rain, the shoes had gotten dirty. I have only these two foot-wares, and wanted to ensure that I come tomorrow to the workshop with clean pair of shoes, also since I am leaving to the counseling tomorrow night itself, I would not have any time to get the shoes clean. Also, we have had a new maid come to our home from today, and unlike out old maid, I did not know if she would wash the shoes. So I decided I had to take the time to wash the shoes.

Just as I was done with my shoes, my brother insisted that I wear his sandles to work, as I was getting late, I agreed; but it so happened that my size was 8 and his size 11, so the foot-ware was uneasy. I would not run up the stairs today, nor could I walk at my normal pace. There is a shoe repair shop on my way to the office so I decided to take a deviation. But when I got the shoe shop, the shop was closed.

In short, all these factors put together, caused me to be late today. I agree that I could have done things differently at different instance during the course, but this is how things turned out, and I apologize for being late.

Thanking you.

Yours Sincerely,

Ganesh Kamath
