No snakes, no fire but rain! ... after 4/40

I'm hearing from India that Jayaraj and the team are following the blog ... greetings to you from England Jayaraj!  No snakes last night, no fire either, but oh yes to rain. It's funny how you don't need much rain on a tent to make it sound like you're living in a drum.

Rain here, though, just doesn't come down like rain over there. We've had lots, and poor people have suffered floods, but over there it comes in deluges the like of which we just don't see. Schools close because it's rained. It's just too dangerous to get around. When it's over you're left with the sky's exhausted breath ...

I remember on one visit it was the year of the terrible monsoon and floods in Mumbai. We had to route through there on our way back to Heathrow and I've never flown through anything like it in my life.  Descending into Mumbai Chatrapati Shivagi airport we were like a leaf in the wind. The landing lights came on and through the window by the screaming engines it looked like we were flying through solid water.

Thanks for reading. As we go on through these 40 nights I'll keep trying to bring you those moments of life-crossings I spoke about in my earlier 'Hidden Worlds' post.
