.......the Muezzin's call....!!!

........its now a fortnite of Rains & more rains :with local effects augmenting :"Hulanghu": the S W Monsoon.........Samad is sick &his 12 00Hrs prayer call was embedded in his husky voice which otherwise is robust & a part of Life now....he met me 2days back with constitutional symptoms & is under medication....but being indispensable he is devout in his work ....whatever be it....I wish him speedy recovery....Neil & Wendy in distant America are safe and sound after what happened to the eastern Seaboard ....which we all saw...they are in the Highlands in PA & I was worried about any Blizzard which would come in their way....I was equally worried about our First cousins in Pondicherry where "Nilam" was not very far having a landfall in Mahabalipuram near chennai....I could not connect Arindam though despite best efforts...Rock Cut Pallavan Shore Temple must have witnessed this umpteenth time ever since its commissioning by Narasimha Varman the great Pallava King of Southern India...the old port town of Pumpoohar where Kaveri river has its delta also must have witnessed such Cyclones.......in fact the Cyclone stories of Nellore,Ongole,Chirala ,bapatla,Nagapattinam,Tirupati ,Cuddalore are a regular feature and our Coromandel Express Trips to Madras Central Frm Howrah were often jeopardised .....so when New York was assaulted....it came as a shock.....as to what Nature can be up to....New york was never in doubt as a fullproof city to meet any thing.....but Sandy proved it otherwise....imagine Power outages in New york....it was so similar to  a Hollywood fiction.....But the Heart wrenching scenes especially the burnt out houses of Queen's reminded me of a war ravaged zone....!!!!........here the aftereffects & side effects of "Nilam" is evident & the drainage system of the City has been exposed.....my prediction 3 days of continuous rain will flood this city for sure.....there is already flooding in some Atolls....!!!....as the news frm Homeland 1 keep percolating....now assuming Tsunami like proportions after the latest Salvo of the IAC orienting us to go into a huddle & do a little bit of own research about the KG Basin...which cost the Petroleum Min .the job....!!!!....India was always the " Sonay ki Chidiya..."& the loot of her resources are unabated....at least this is the perception tht is being circulated....firstly it was the Foreign Marauders & now its our own ilk....!!!!...sitting here far far away I can feel the Winds of Changes blowing....a whisper now turning into a Roar......!!!!
