Today, in the depot a friend asked, how do you know which are the clouds in the sky... It was an overcast day and from the depot we could see 3 diff colours in the sky, the nice sky blue, cotton white and sort of sea-grey... I didnt know what to answer.. But it is wonderful to ponder over such a simple, random question...
Later when we reach my own ESH, lightning struck an area that was relatively close to us, ironically just after we mentioned that the three of us shldnt be walking in the open during such weather and that we COULD be struck by lightning...
It was so close you could hear the impact of the lightning striking an object.. I belive it struck the lamp post by the bend outside the ESH.. It was magnificient. The light was blindingly bright, it happened so fast that one probably couldnt even finish blinking an eye before the whole episode ended... The sound... I don't know how to explain it, but it is like no other.. Something like lightning blasts from heros 3, but much more awe inspiring.. Certainly, it was dangerously close.. But all I felt was awe and just simply humbled that the creator of that lightning strike would actually bother to care for one such as me.... It was a once in lifetime experience.. To have lightning strike in front of me.. Would never trade it for anything else...
