Rains in Secunderabad

It's the same story in Secunderabad as it is in most of the country - almost no rains. The clouds have been coming and going, but that's about it. The night of 26th June was somewhat of an exception. After a hot and sultry day with clouds and the sun playing hide and seek with each other through the day, things changed at night and we had an hour or so of heavy rain.

Here are some pics in the golden light of sodium vapour from the balcony of my house in the rather green and leafy Mareddpally part of Secunderabad
