... Seasons refreshing

The raingods have been kind enough to bless Chennai with an occasional thundershower for a while now - but  day before yesterday was the first time it rained nonstop from night to morning. Enough for the government to declare a holiday for Chennai schools. I did not exactly welcome it, as the news came after I had forced the kids out of their beds (an ordeal for me every day) and into the bath.
To be double sure, I called up a couple of people and also decided to check the news on the local news channels. But not a word in English anywhere, I noted in exasperation.
"Why dont you try Cartoon Network? That is in English," suggested Ash, who wanted to spend the whole day watching his favorite channel.

p.s. Mira turned 6 today.
