After years of ‘negative’ rainfall, Tamil Nadu started to enjoy the North East Monsoon today. The whole night it was pouring. Unlike in Belgium, where rain is part of the life style, here there is a particular rainy season. For the past few years, it has not been a pleasant news for the farmers. Now that the saint has come to the state, it is blessed. It might be like this for weeks. Though it is highly inconvenient for us, it is very good for the farmers. Hopefully we will have a joyful pongal (harvest festival).

To beat the banality, I started writing about the Belgian trip. Already I got some compliments. This is only a draft version and I will write whenever time permits. Only after completion, I will do a page (re-)design. You can read the first write-up already.
