Torrential misery?

A very wet day in Chennai today. A heavy downpour that catches you unawares as you head out for work. Waterlogged roads, half-submerged vehicles, drenched bikewallahs running for shelter at bus stops, leaky roofed buses with some shutters missing, share autos with missing window panes, wet seats, wet bottoms, folded but dripping umbrellas, traffic jams, traffic lights that go blink, pools of oil dazzling like rainbows on tarred roads... and then, the sun peeps out of the clouds and smiles while a rainbow arches up the sky and make you forget that one hour of misery you went through.
