Every time it rains in Bangalore, my first thought is, "ah, the lakes are filling up". I have never been a big fan of rains, especially when I have to be outside. Since I don't get out of the house much these days, I don't get to see the problems that come with that. Although bad traffic jams and potholes are more of a city planning issue, so we can't really blame the rain for that.
On the positive side, I just love how trees and plants become so clean and bright and they even look happy in the monsoons. Even buildings and roads look sharp and shiny when the dirt is washed off. I love how lights from vehicles reflect on a shiny road when it rains and how much more cosy it feels to be indoors!
And every time it rains, I can just imagine the water table filling up just a little more, helping the environmental crisis just a tiny bit.
