I think there are two metros in this world where carrying an umbrella is essential. The famous or infamous weather of London makes raingear, or at least an umbrella, an integral part of a London gentleman’s wardrobe.
The other metro must be Chennai, where the hot sun makes an umbrella a must-carry item for the Chennai Ladies, lest their complexion turn from fairly-fair to coffee brown.
Not being of the fairer sex, neither of fair complexion, nor afraid of the little drizzles having sailed in gale force winds, an umbrella is the last thing on my mind. But the clouds, evening sky, the stars and their constellation are of eternal interest, and nary a day or night passes without a bemused glance at those familiar sights.
Today evening was one such sight, not often seen over the cities or even at sea. The city of Chennai overcast with dark clouds, as if an angel is holding up an umbrella. There was a stiff breeze which swept most of the clouds and rains to different parts of the city, but while it lasted, it was a sight to behold.
Here are the panorama snaps from today’s cloud cover over Chennai - like an umbrella.
