After nearly a week of continous rain it was a no-rain day today. But it continued to be cloudy and windy all day. The sun seemed hidden behind the clouds and emerged sometime in the afternoon throwing some weak sunlight. All it needs is one sunny day to drive away the gloom that seems to be pervading the city, Ramzan and Ganesh festivals notwithstanding.
The only bright spots are that in the evenings one can get to hog as much haleem as one can, and also the roads are being repaired at breakneck speed. Come Monday and one can expect pothole-free roads.
The sight of the long arms of the cranes parked on the Necklace Road side reaching high into the sky is awesome whereas on Tank Bund the cranes do not seem to be so awe-inspiring. Every Ganesh festival the Tank Bund takes a battering with the pavements dug up to build platforms for the heavy-duty cranes. By next week it will all be restored and Tank Bund will continue to be the picturesque spot that it is anytime of the year.
The Buddha statue in the middle of the Hussainsagar Lake continues to fascinate the foriegners who visit the city. Almost every day I see at least one foreigner taking pictures of the scenic lake and the statue in the middle.
