Heavy rains hit Lahore
Yesterday was the day of the rain in Lahore. We’ve been having this Monsoon stuff going on since the start of August but yesterday was like some kind of record breaking thing. I wouldn’t have reached my place of work had I been traveling on buses. The rains have provided much needed relief from the killer heat of June and July. Survival in August is much easier now. In fact I didn’t even need to turn on my fan last night. Saved some electricity to celebrate tomorrow’s ‘Independence Day’. Anyway the rain was pretty baddish and brought most of the daily life to a screeching halt. Lots of water is still on the streets. In the meantime more rain is expected over the next few days so be prepared to get wet or carry an umbrella with you like I do…
