Of the Summer showers in Chennai

Literally the Summer has begun in Chennai..the place where I exist currently..

It is of great surprise that yesterday suddenly the showers accompanied by the whirlwinds had cooled down the mercury and a madrasi should be managing without electricity in the midnight..

It caught me awake and then came the odor from the nearby Adayar..once the lifeline of Madras now converted to a stagnant pool ...a good breeding ground for mosquitoes..

I read somewhere that Adyar River(in otherwords spelt as Adayaru meaning used to be a freshwater source of Madras and boating used to happen along the canals..Also a natural creek which acts as an estuary to take the tidal waters back into sea.Organisations like Exnora are taking good steps to protect the natural creek that will help humans avert the disasters like tsunami which worst hit Chennai.
