Driving through the rains

We've been having some torrential rains in Hyderabad.

And if enjoying the rains from home wasn't enough, this last two days has been driving through some of the heaviest rains I've ever driven through.

At a signal I turned off my wipers to just watch the water pour and flow down the windshield.

This evening it felt like driving through streams, there was that much water flowing on the roads. This picture's not mine but I thought it represented it well

What a pretty picture, courtesy Google...also from this evening

While I get that there's water logging and flooding and seeping........and what drive normally takes me an hour took me two hours this evening, one yet can't miss the absolute beauty of the rains too.

Even as I write, it's like in surround sound of thunder and the lightening and heavy heavy rain....and I couldn't not capture the experience here :)
