Its raining Life!!

We are in the midst of a downpour today. The rain gods are indeed pleased with mankind I guess...I was scared of the news about SIRUVANI dam water level going down..and stuff like water cut in the offing, if it doesnt rain...etc


Talking of rains....

A funny thing happened last year..
My friend asked me, if we get a special umbrella in Kerala,(which pioneers in the latest model umbrellas-strong ones.)which has a button to close the umbrella. I mean we have all seen umbrellas with a button to open it...she said she has heard that there is this umbrella which has a button to close it..
I hadnt heard of it, however promised to get it for her.
It so happened I went to the shop and asked the shopkeeper I want an umbrella with a button to close...and he gave me..
I happily brought it back to mumbai and gave it to my friend..
No one felt like checking it ....
One day my friend took this umbrella and went shopping. It started raining suddenly.She started pressing the button to open the umbrella and it didnt open..in that confusion, she got drenched fully. She came to know later that this particular umbrella doesnt have a button to open....it has to be opened the manual way, it has one button only to close the umbrella...
Even to this day she teases me about the umbrella...
