We plan a day and plans change suddenly without consulting us 😊. My husband heard from his friend that their teacher was coming to our town after decades. He had been a lecturer in the Dental college of our University when my husband was a student. His teacher and his wife came yesterday, they were looked after by Dr U. My husband was ready when he got a call from Dr U who told him that the guest was not feeling well and was resting in the hotel room. My husband said he was feeling like a deflated balloon. 😊
Meanwhile, Aravind had asked Prof B to come to our place to read a philosophy book in German. They have had many reading sessions since last December. This book by Peter Bieri is important to Aravind for his research. Prof B is his German teacher too. Aravind learnt German during his high school and undergraduate days and wrote successfully three exams. Fortunately, he found good scribes to write for him. We heard about the talking software JAWS in 2002 . We purchased it. It was installed in his computer and over the years there have been new, updated versions . JAWS opened a new world to him and it has made him independent. Back to our best laid plans , a department meeting started and the staff had to be present. So, Aravind called Prof B to cancel their reading session.
Later my husband went for a short walk. My mother and I walked in our front yard. Suddenly, I saw dark clouds gathering. The weather had become very hot. Someone said it would rain. I had to take photos of the clouds. My husband came back and plucked star-apples. We sat on the stone bench and ate them. Suddenly, I saw rain drops on the ground. It was 6.35. Then it was drizzling. The first rain of the year and the fragrance of rain meeting earth, petrichor. Today the fragrance was not heady as it is most times. It rained slowly and steadily for about 25 minutes. The plants and trees must be feeling very happy. They will look green at least for a day. Tomorrow the weather will be hot and humid but it was good to see the rain today.
