I am tired of this whole thing.

Rains, Green and Stone!



Its been raining for quite sometime now. The maximum for the month of July in thirty years I am told. Greenery and the stone walls of the hostel make a beautiful sight. Mind drifts to Mangalore and the beauty of rains there. Happiness means different things to different [...]
