It rains daily in bangalore.DAILY!! I'm sure people in chennai won't believe this.....provided they remember what rain means.
'Rain' - means that water(which u usually only see in thanni lorries) actually falls from the skies in drops.- For the benefit of Chennaiites only!!
Well, everyday when I get up, its bright and sunny.Makes me feel glad to be alive.I brush, take bath and bike my way to the office without my jacket - afterall its soo sunny!! I start working...atleast pretending to work.When i go out for lunch, its sunny again and I even sweat a little walking back to office from the 'aunty mess' which is opposite gate 4 of my company.I again work and in the evening, as soon as i decide to leave for home, suddenly, the skies darken,lightning flashes,thunder rumbles and it starts pouring.It pour,pours and then, pours a little more.I decide that its not in my best interests to venture out into such weather on my bike and I settle back onto my chair and start working - for want of a better thing to do.I go on working and pretty soon, the rain stops-at 8 O'clock.I start from office after that and reach home with enough time for dinner and around 30 mins to watch TV before i fall asleep.
The companies cannot actually ask u to stay back in office after working hours.So, they try other devious ways.
This ultra rainy weather is the handiwork of the cunning HR people of the Software companies in Bangalore I say!!
They saw that Bangalore city is full of nice parks,pubs,shpping streets and nice chicks which can lure the employees away from their desks pretty early.So, the companies decide to build their campuses in far off places with swanky names (eg:Electronics City - As soon as people hear the name Electronics city, they think of wide avenues with well planned residential layouts and Mega Malls for the software engineers who dont know what to do with their money to splurge in.But in reality, its just a slummy village with rats running around on one side of the road and gleaming buildings with designer lawns on the other side.Its a nice study on the contrast in living conditions in India).
Now, ur working in a place arnd 15-20 KMs from the city which can be accessed through only one road - The notorious Hosur Road.Actually calling it a road is not exactly correct.During the timings (8:00AM - 10:00AM & 5:30 PM- 9:30 PM) it somewhat resembles a Huge looong parking lot.So, driving any place inside the city after ur already tired from ur office work will make u shudder to even think of it.(Driving on Hosur Road is a diferent topic in itself and I'll write on it later).
So, u stay in office. and work.
So, I believe that when the HR people of the software companies saw that even after making going to the city so unattractive, some people were still escaping from office after working hours.So, they made a deal with God to make it rain in Bangalore on all working days and I guess for every 5 days of rainy weather , God granted them 2 days free.Thats the whole week accounted for.
God,Its soo unfair!!
If u people also feel the same, Please post ur comment and I'll collate all these comments and mail to God as a protest campaign!!

Dude Cne,
Do not I repeat do not underestimate the deviousness of the HR personnel. Sure the HR chicks are sweet and cute but they certainly are the evil underlings of Dogbert :).
You never know motts , they may have just hired weather scientists to select a site where it rains all the time :)).

2 days free for 5 , now that was ROTFL :-)))

Rain for the benifit of bangaloorians.
Definition: Any event that causes disruption to normal life by bringing about situations like powercut, drinking water shortage, roads and houses filled with water, dead phone lines, stranded vehicles, more and more and more potholes etc. The falling water from somewhere up there is purely incidental.
Kanna idu Senthamizh thalainagaram Chennai. Bengalooril nooru nal mazha peyyum. Ana thanniye theriyadhu. Ingya orunal mazha peyyum. Appo ore thanniya maridum!
