RAIN

It rained today in long stripes.  The herald of the Monsoon season.  It's cooler.  There are puddles everywhere which, with more rain, will presumably turn into great dams and acres of mud, as there is no drainage.  Life on the street adjusts to the new phenomenon....a man stands under a shelter with just a towel round his waist and a gaggle of near naked children run laughing from puddle to puddle.
