Cloudy, breezy, pleasant and that's Coimbatore today

It is that time of the year when you love to take your bike out and roam around the city. It is pleasantly cool and breezy in Coimbatore. Droplets of water from the sky makes the experience even more enjoyable. You would just want to drive, drive and drive. That's how pleasing south west monsoon is for Coimbatoreans. When the monsoon arrived this year it brought the temperature down to comfortable levels. Evenings were cool and Day's were slightly warm (early 30's in Celsius). We even experienced few days of monsoon rain, early in the month. But none of the days were as good as it used to be, but today. May be the trees cut and ever increasing noise of gushing engines is constantly pushing up Coimbatore temperature and monsoon itself is a victim of global warming.

Today was one such day, I was craving for weeks now. I did not feel the need to switch on the ceiling fan in my office. But I did not realise how good the day is until I went out in the evening. What a fantastic feeling it was? Absolutely pleasant and brilliant. I am not done with it yet and would probably go out in the night to take it in more. I don't know whether it will return tomorrow. There were times when a day like this used to repeat for close to a month. But the times we are living in, exploitation of the environment, careless attitude of people has made days like today a luxury and dare I say, a rarity for us Coimbatoreans.
