With much trepidation we left office once the rains abated since there is almost always a huge traffic jam once it rains in Bangalore. (There are jams on only two days in Bangalore, the cardiac-arrest-inducing ones on days it rains and the merely frustrating ones on days it does not)

And so it turned out to be. Traffic was clogged horribly till we crossed KR Puram bridge and as we took the flyover to get onto the traffic free zone we were praying that the radio plays a song that we like, and so it turned out that as we joined the Outer Ring Road a personal favorite "Maula Mere Maula" from the movie Anwar was played.
YouTube link of the song here.
There is something about Sufi Music that is so uplifting, as if one is transported to an alternate universe.
And onto home after a great dinner, we were sitting in our room with the balcony door open and the cool winds blowing in (since ours is a west facing balcony and the summer being hot by Bangalore standards at 38C cool winds are not so common) we find that a friend who is now in the US is online and wants to play Scrabble on Facebook.
We have played maybe thrice on Facebook with A and lost all three times. But on this day everything was going our way and we had a string of firsts. Our first bingo on Scrabulous (83 points at that), 400+ points for the first time in Scrabble. And this is how the board looked at the end of the game :
Result:
NightWatchmen : 454
A : 263.

ah yes, when the rain comes down all is well in the world again, untill you try getting back home that is.
El : Well it was not so bad once I crossed the jammed area what with some awesome music on the car system.
By the way driving in the rain is really fun, we did do that once sometime in Sep/Oct last year where it was so heavy that we probably could not see more than a couple of meters ahead of us. You really should try it if you have not done so already though it is a tad unsafe but is exhilirating.
Once you reach home it is even better since one can sit down to a cup of hot tea, open up the balcony drag a chair there and loose oneself in the book that one is reading.
