Flora and fauna

Rained today like it was trying to prove why the phrase with "cats and dogs" was coined. Had to turn on the speakers to full to hear (over the thunder, and the raindrops hammering down) how Ross would call up a girl, who finally fell for him, w/o having her phone no-"U know what, if its meant to happen, I'll guess it." Why, sure he would!!!!! Now, that would be true love!!!
Raining again as it has all of the last couple of weeks. Not that I mind. Quite like the rains, especially when you have to choose between them and a sun that comes out with the kind of vengeance that would have helped Saurav Ganguly silence his critics.
Only just realized that the rains can make you rediscover the flora and fauna in this place. Brings the best out in the flora, makes the trees look greener, flowers, happier, and the grass, fresher.And as far as the fauna is concerned, well, brings it out, period. Froms frogs of all shapes and sizes, to flying creatures(not birds) that look like the insect world has come out to celebrate the end of their hibernation period. Quite fine with me, except that they chose my room for their expressions of joy. Had been saving up for a rainy day, i guess.
The four lizards in my room have had a couple of field days.
Miss the food in cal, the hanging out after school, and the addas through life. At least the labs are AC, and we've now got songs in here.
Wonder how close a parallel our lives have with those of the aforementioned flora and fauna?

Too bad England couldn't nail Australia in the end. Was the first ever match that I "watched" on a website. Kept refreshing the scorecard on the website. What a way to watch!!!
Alonso pulled off another one. Just seems unstoppable at the moment. Buck up, Schumi....

Wrote this while my code was running.
Code still running.
Guess I will go grab some tea.

    man, be careful about the geckoes in your room. happened once that i switched on the comp, and the SMPS blew off - burst! found a dead reptile inside when the hcl guys came for a repair.

    There is an exuberant charm about the rain in Kolkata - waterlogged streets and rolling up your jeans so you can wade through College Street or Gariahat..
    Considering iam not in Cal i guess i can wax eloquent about its charms and not rave #$^%$ as i would do if iwere home.
    Nice blog ..saw u around teleute's and also herenow- both pals from college.
