The grace of Indra has been checked by Pawan. And we are heading for yet another drought. I wrote too soon, it seems. The rains had been coming down adequately. However, since then there has been a continuous breeze all across the area, sometimes even reaching high wind speeds. Coming from the plains of Baluchistan and Sindh, these winds have taken the rain clouds away from the desert and dried the crops. And the winds have also affected the roots of the grasses; such have been the speeds. Even the world-famous and hardy sevan grass has been unable to withstand the strain of the winds. And then the cooling effect of this continuous breeze has also prevented a low pressure from developing over the area. What was being tagged as an eight-anna season which could become a sixteen-anna one with just one more rain is now being declared by the people as yet another drought. And once again the major worry remains that of the cattle.
