Wow !! Today's evening was just amazing. I have never seen such a wild sandstorm fuelled by mad winds and followed by a subtle, sweet and soothing rain. The last couple of days was really hot for the normal KGP (Kharagpur) summer. The temperature soared as high as 42 C and the hot summer winds (known as Loo, locally) were harshly dry. It seems Global Warming had taken it's toll everywhere.
But, today the evening cloud brought relief and joy. The sky was overcast and he dark clouds were seen hurtling at great speeds above thin whitish lower clouds. The wind was ferocious and the trees rocked like barbie dolls. For about 15 minutes, there was a continuous blast of wind with black clouds hovering overhead. And the win carried with it all the sand it could find loose; creating a sandstorm like I have never seen here. Along with the ferocious wind came a sweet gust of wind, cool and refreshing !
Sometime later, lightning and thunder opened their books and I was very careful to de-plug all my electrical gadgets. Soon, the rain started and brought about a much-awaited relief from the dry heat of the hot days. I stood on my balcony and soaked in those pristine showers and watched the clouds fly away leaving bare a violet-blue twilight that looked nothing but soothing.
Though the rain was short lived, it succeded in bringing down the soaring temperatures down and guarantee a nice and cool sleep tonight.
