The Showers of Bangalore

April showers are coming in May, in Bangalore.
It was unbearably hot this time. For the past few years we have hardly had any proper winter also.
Bangalore which is supposed to be a Garden City, is now become a Garden of Concrete Jungle.
From being compared to a hill station, it has now become a famous Garbage station.
Last year the winter lasted only for about 15 days.


At last, we have rains, the plants and the trees are really enjoying the rain.
I took some pictures of the rain today.  As the saying goes: When it rains it really pours....

How beautiful is the rain! 

After the dust and the heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain!
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Rain in Summer

Everywhere water is a thing of beauty gleaming in the dewdrop, singing in the summer rain.
- John Ballantine Gough

Can you see the huge drops of rain falling, it was so beautiful to watch

 Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. 
Langston Hughes

I really love the rain, what about you?

How about some nice, hot, crispy onion pakodas?

"Look it is raining, says grandma, looking up from her knitting

"Oh, wow! I can only look at the lovely pakodas you have made"...says grandpa

The weather is cloudy, with thunder and lightning, with some welcome showers, it is such a relief!!

The time to celebrate: and what could be a better way to do it than make some hot pakodas with some heavenly cups of tea to go with it......

All of a sudden the garden is looking so pretty and inviting.....

Its has been ages since I made onion pakodas, so pushing aside my guilty conscience, I went ahead and made them: so here they are looking so delicious and irresistible....

Don't you feel like having some, then what are you waiting for?

Go ahead and make it and enjoy homemade onion pakodas, the rain, the garden and your life..........
