It's raining, man ! Hallelujah !
No...this isnt a reference to the Geri Halliwell song.
Its a reference to the incessant rains that have been lashing Chennai since the North-East monsoon set in on Oct 12. Over 20cms of rain have been recorded since yesterday night. And it doesnt stop here - more rains are predicted over the next 48 hours due to a depression in the Bay of Bengal.
Speaking of predictions, the current rains were "predicted" or "hinted at" by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa more than two months back. Prescience ? No, just history.
Update: A colleague suggests that the depression in the Bay of Bengal may be named "Cyclone" Amma ! Ha ha !!

Hey - didn't you know, this one is called Cyclone Gilma, after Hurricane Wilma!
Thanks for the update. I stand corrected ! :)
I suppose Gerri Halliwell would adore you to death!
I am so happy for you guys. How many years of drought has it been? 8 ?
Yes, about that long. The recent rains have done Chennai a world of good.
