Moodubelle, 10 august 2012: Karnataka has been hit by incessant rains for the past few days after a frightening lull in the intensity of the monsoon. Fearing the worst type of draught in the state in general and lack of sufficient rainfall in the coastal region, poojas were offered in various temples and prayers for the rain were recited in different churches and mosques. It seems that the collective prayers of the people irrespective of their religious beliefs, God answered their supplications and apparently gave more than what they prayed for-continuous rain for the last few days that filled the ponds, rivers and hearts of the people, of course causing some inconvenience to people living low lying areas and closer to the rivers which are overflowing.


 
Taking advantage of the respite in rain, the reporter ventured out with his camera to capture few pictures of the second flood in this monsoon season. At two places, the road connecting Moodubelle and Padubelle was inundated near the bridge. However, vehicles could move with caution. Few children were seen cycling and running in the flood water and enjoying the holiday as the schools and colleges in Moodubelle are closed for the feast of St. Lawrence and other schools in Udupi District have been given holiday due to heavy rain. Meanwhile, two ice-cream vans hurried through the flood water on their way to the feast venue.

 


 
Closer to the residence of this reporter, few enterprising men were seen unfurling the net to be cast in the flood waters as it is believed that the fish that seeks the shallow waters can be trapped easily. As the operation was on, children and even grownups from  Dubai for whom such an experience has been rare were looking on with excitement and expectation of a big catch.


 
As this report is being written, the sky has opened up with bright sunshine. The rains have completely stopped and people of Belle who were apprehensive of attending the feast mass without getting wet seem to have taken out the best of their dresses and are preparing themselves to go to church and participate in the Feast of St. Lawrence.

Thanks Sir Eugene for venturing out and taking some pics of rain for us. We especially in the gulf were eagerly waiting for the goods of rain in our districts and our people back home were greatly worried. Now I can see the smiles on everyone s faces. Yes God indeed made us all happy as we say He has His own ways to satisfy all. Nice to know all the wells, ponds and rivers are full and this rain is enough for the rest of the year. Nice report, a little humerous and off-course, very natural pics of the rainy village. thanks a lot.
