Unexpected Joy watching Rains in Solan, Himachal Pradesh

On our onward journey to Kufri, we halted at Solan; to eat noodles and have garam chai (hot tea). Everything seemed fine, pleasant climate, friends, chatting and all.

Then suddenly the whole atmosphere changed, dark clouds, wind, drizzles and finally heavy downpour… all appeared from nowhere. It was pelting small ice cubes from above! One by one, hands extended out of the shade to feel the rain drops and catch the falling hail stones. I don’t know if it was the sweet scent in the air or the steam from hot noodles and tea, we experienced an unexpected joy in those moments. Few among us wanted to get drenched right there. A rainy adventure in the most unexpected place! But none ventured, we still had a couple of hours drive left.

As I stood and stared, it struck me take a video of those few moments. Here is a 30secs clip of that morning.
