Hailstones.......


Yesterday Shillong saw her first hailstones this year......I was in the hospital and when i heard the rain and the hailstones i rushed out to take a picture but in the crowd i could not get a good capture. you can somewhat manage to see the little hail stones on the ground .......its was not too big any way ....we usually get bigger ones. i remember once it hailed so much that the whole town was covered with white stones. It was awesome......but sadly i don't have a picture of it...... And after yesterday , the temperature dropped drastically....ugh!!! today was chilly. Don't know whether to say the spring season is over or winter is back....!!! Very soon we would have the continous rains. That reminds me i have to keep my umbrella ready now. Yesterday i din't have one but as i had the car and din't have to walk much i was saved. Don't fancy myself getting wet and chilly . Lol!!!! Any way , I dedicate my first post on the rain , to my friend who simply loves Nature's Shower and who has taught me to love and to see the beauty of the Showers.
