Cracks in the sky and more

Monsoon is here. There's a daily pitter-patter and the sunshine is much less now. Reduced Vitamin D intake. Does it matter? We anyway weren't roaming the streets under the shining sun earlier. Been jailed for what feels like forever now. That's the only complaint people have now. We want out! And that is as always since the last year. Things are seeming better again but then we need to remember this - once bitten, twice shy. Are we shy enough yet? Doesn't look like it.

Our little sunshine, Oli (we don't even call her that anymore, I just realized! 😀), loves rains. But then she immediately starts singing "rain rain go away" and she doesn't even mean to shoo it away! So the other day, rains were accompanied by some thunder and lightning. Thunder always scares her. Lightening was new (also scary). At the first sight of it, she screamed, "Mommy, there's a crack in the sky look!" 😂 Isn't that so cute?

The best thing about her is that she manages to describe everything well enough for us to understand. She refers to standing/sleeping lines shapes, letters, numbers, colors, and what not. Always amazes us! Kids are the best! 😊

San's new school session has started. Online classes again. Appreciate all the efforts the teachers are putting into conducting online sessions and managing everything online. It still feels like kids are missing out on a lot. San desperately wants to go back to school. I'm sure many other kids do.

Lately, we've been conversing a lot. Little chit-chats over "kadha" in the morning. She keeps talking about the things she liked in the US and how she is always ready to go back to school there. I tell her you can graduate from there. For now, we're here. I feel letting it all out works for her. She emerges as a happier person after the chat. It shouldn't become a habit though, I fear. The complaints.

Back to taking pictures of the sky. The sunsets are wonderful and they are at their best during the monsoon. The sky never ceases to amaze. Here's one I took from the terrace on a super rainy day:
