Walk around Palm Meadows in the Hard Rain

            The God of Rain, Indra Maharaj, is going this way and the lightning is dazzling the stormy sky there~Sri Swami Samarth

amazing walk in the driving rain with many vignettes

with the renovation work going on at home, hardly any exercise / steps till 6 PM

finished an early dinner and headed out around 2020 hours

On Tuesdays, like to see the Plant Deity at the western end of Avenue 8 and the Renukāmba Tree Temple in Phase Three; the length and breadth of PM

Couldn't click the Plant Deity though the setting was perfect, as i didn't want the folks in the 41x house thinking who's this weirdo‽

Captured the water gushing down the gutter at the intersection of Avenue 2A and the Coconut Grove

Then, looped down M1 to the Tripura Sai Mandir #TSM, with its doors closed.  A Merc SUV with the number 8001 rolled past.  Good to see a Merc, now very common in PM, without the alliterative numbers like 6161 😉  As i was seeing Shirdi Baba through the narrow angle through the glass window, the lightning flashed!  Good darshan, i felt, if the heavens themselves reciprocate 😉

On the S-Curve, the Merc sort of cornered me.  The bearded guy in it wanted to know where the Resort #PMR was.  Gave him the necessary directions.  He offered me a lift.  Told him i needed the exercise

Near the tennis courts, was remembering a funda whether the dhwaja stambha in temple complexes are actually lightning conductors, especially with so many folks around them during festive occasions      

Looped into Phase Three and marked at-ten-dance at the Renukāmba Tree Temple

On the rebound, saw the Security guys washing their hands using the dripping water.  Quite amusing in a way and clicked a pic

The rain subsided by the time i got back home

They say sweat is a deep cleanser; can say the same about the monsoon rains
