Fire

Less than five days back when I left Bangalore for a weekend trip to Hampi, Bangalore was seething with heat, the TV channels was droning on about Jaswant Singh's plight and the precautions to be taken to prevent swine flu (btw, read Paul's swine flu story here, it's as usual hilarious!) and the monsoon rains were hanging low on the dark clouds threatening to drench me without warning. When I got back to Bangalore on Tuesday morning, NDTV was still feasting on the turmoil in the BJP leadership (which had become worse over the weekend), there were more casualities on account of swine flu, people were making bonfires outside their homes (thanks to the sudden chill in the city!) and there is absolutely no sign of the rains. So much, in so little time... The wheather I mean...
