Rain Rain come some other day!
Its raining here and temperatures have dropped down to comfortable levels. This year round monsoon has been extra gracious on the people of Punjab and elsewhere. There have been rains the whole summer and the sun has had little chance to spread its sizzling heat. It is good in one way as the provinces will defer their quarrels over water for a little longer now.
We here have this joke that whenever we need rain we don't have to do anything but ask Abbu to order pesticides be sprayed on the cotton crop. I don't know if it is mere chance or what but every time our cotton crop is sprayed with pesticides it rains almost instantaneously. As if the clouds have this way of knowing when it rains death on the pests of the crop so it can come to their rescue. This has been going on for last one and a half month now. Wouldn't say it has pleased my father much as it incurs a heavy loss on him every time a spray goes to waste like this.
