When The Clouds Play...

Normally on Saturdays I take a small nap after lunch. After a tiring morning my body asks for some rest in the afternoon and I listen to it. Last Saturday thanks to a phone call which woke me up and I didn't get sleep afterwards and decided to prepare a hot cup of Tea...The weather outside was bit cloudy and casually I looked at the sky for a possible rain...and wait...the movement of the clouds was faster than usual and the shades and the pattern were intriguing...

Hurriedly I put my camera into the bag and rushed to the terrace. Looked at the sky again and wow! The play was about to begin... The mood was poised and the Pariah Kites were having tough time gliding in the air...Took out the camera, mounted my 18-135 and sh*#! there was no card in the camera!! Every moment was crucial and the cloud formation was changing fast...Rushed to get the card and my 12-24 along...wasted precious 2 and a half min because of my foolishness and I went onto my toes the moment I reached the terrace back...


The blue sky was still visible and as the Sun was about to finish his duty, the sky on the West was slowly turning yellow...The shades and shapes of the clouds were imparting a poised mood...


I was expecting a war in the sky that evening...was waiting for some more drama...but...disappointed...cease fire was declared and thick heavy clouds headed in to different ways...


It took me some time to recover and when I unloaded my bag back in my room I realised ........that..... my evening Tea was pending... :)

Cheers,
Ash
