September 2011 flowers

Rourkela had unprecedental rains in September 2011 and this hilly town where I have never seen water flowing on roads for more than two hours following the heaviest of rains during our 3o plus years of stay had floods on the embankment of river Koel and Bramhani. It was raining for days and that too strong downpours continued for hours together between 17th to 21st of September. The shrubs had hardly any chance of survival. I also went out to Rajasthan from 15th evening and arrived back on 25th. There were hardly any flowers in the garden. On the whole it was a disheartening September.

The last week of July was very hot and humid and in Rourkela we felt like living in Cuttack or Bhubaneswar but on 3rd August evening it rained heavily and later the rains continued till 10th morning though in drizzle, but almost continuously.
