My pictures with their little stories

Ready to kiss the Earth The monsoon clouds have descended and are getting ready to kiss the earth.  They have come from far away. Their moment has arrived. Will they pour ? The hot dry earth will absorb everything they shower. Erupt in joy and fragrance. Wait each year for this moment.

Monsoon clouds over Pune skyline To see this out of the window first thing in the morning was enough to make me high. Fresh coffee was incidental. For a change, dark clouds brought hope and cheer and elevated the mood like nothing else can do.

Twilight at a beach in Kokan Apart from the usual good seasons to go, we have been driving into Kokan  region just before the monsoon arrives. The good thing this does is that you see lots of clouds pass by, great colours in the sky and surely some rains at least on the return trip. Experienced this fantastic play of colours at a beach near Guhagar . Within a span of just over an hour and a half, the creator or whoever gave us a glimpse of what he is capable of. Unleashed an array of colours, a riot almost but this one was supremely divine, soothing and introspective. I did not feel like getting into the water as this might have disturbed the beautiful series of paintings that were being flipped in front of us.

Misty at Mahabaleshwar Club Cannot forget the days at Mahabaleshwar Club just before the onset of monsoon. The weather had started to change, clouds had started to come in with an occasional drizzle and mist. The club has an old world charm and this particular time of the year made it even more charming.
