Rain Washed

Since the past few day we are having rains, that has brought down the temperatures and its not humid anymore.
We are enjoying the pleasant pre-autumny weather.


In the evening I went out to purchase some groceries, 10 mins walk from my house. While I was in the shop it started raining heavily. I waited sometime an d then getting impatient walked home thoroughly getting wet and sloshing in puddles. My mother was so worried, she thought I 'd die of pneumonia. I took a quick shower and changed into dry clothes, that 's all.

I like walking in the rain, its the puddles I don 'r t like.



This afternoon I watched a bit of the movie Shakespeare 's "The Merchant of Venice"

Made me go back to our High School days when we enacted that play.

Here is Portia' s court speech which I love so much.




PORTIA: The quality of mercy is not strain'd,

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. .
