The rainy aftermath

It really heavily yesterday! I rained the whole night and it was soo cold..
The entire city was flooded and seeing people wade through clogged up streets was a common sight.

I went out in the afternoon for some shopping to the near by food mall when I decided I would go out to the Highway and other rural areas to get some photos of this rain and it's sights!

Noises

Its 11.30 here in India. I'm sitting in my room with a newspaper beside me and a cup of coffee gone cold. Its late and yet I haven't been able to figure out what I want to blog about. I mean I WANT to blog. But I don't know what to blog about.

So I am just gonna write about the noises I can hear now.
Lately due to my insomnia I have started to stay awake a lot in the night and when I am silently lying in my bed, I hear noises. No, not of the ghostly supernatural kind, just general noises.

Like now I can hear a street dog howling. The T.V in the next room. Some kind of thudding. The constant whirring of my old a.c. and of course of me typing.

I am thinking and hoping someone will come online on facebook. Reading the newspaper on one side. I need a hot coffee now. Damn.

Science Vs Commerce! (ARGH)

So HERE WE GO AGAIN.

We all have those times in our lives, when at some age we believe in something.
Like when we are 5 we believe in Santa
Like when we are 10 we believe school will never end.
And 16 if you are a science student you think you are superior than the others and that commerce/arts people are dumb, they never need to study and their life is a piece of cake.

WRONG!
