Rain, Rain only Rain

It has been raining like Dog in the farm for the past few days. Not only here but the entire Tamil Nadu is drenched.  Due to a low pressure in the atmosphere or some cyclone, there is continuous water flow.  Some more rain is predicted by Met man.

As far Subbu, he is not getting the manpower. Currently all are busy sowing in various fields. Even obtained, there is rain and water logging to do any useful farm work. We should wait for water to recede.  I can only give lecture over phone on organic farming,  energy independence and power generation in captivity.  I asked him to send photos of the farm with water.  Even for this he is unable to venture out.


There has been serious causalities in this part recently due to lightning strike.   One should not venture in two wheeler in country side, lest you become the lightning arrestor.
