Vajra & Rain in Bangalore

Waiting for a bus , we decided to take "Vajra" , which is an AC bus with half the number of seats in a normal MTC bus. Travelling in a Vajra is an experience in itself. After the relative heat of the day , when you enter the bus , The silence coupled with the AC is refreshing to say the least. AS we were moving towards Brigade Road it started raining cats and dogs. It was like a mini-waterfall outside the windows. Having not seen/heard of rain in Chennai for ages , we decided to get wet and have some fun.

After leaving the bus , it took about 10 seconds to get soaked to the bone. Then we had a brainwave to take an auto as it would be quick. After entering the auto we found out that this particular one didn't have the plastic covers to keep out the rain. The B'lore rain unlike the Chennai rain is cold . Also, due to the speeding auto there was a nice cool breeze that on any other day would have been pleasant. The breeze with the rain made for a very very cold auto ride. The two of us were reduced to chattering parrots for the duration of the ride at the mercy of the wind and the rain. On the whole it was quite a cool experience and made me realize , I have to get my raincoat to b'lore during the summer :P
