Hailstorm

It was a normal Tuesday afternoon, I was busy with my work and quite contended with the  return of  summer and sunshine but everything suddenly changed. The sky was getting darker every minute and strong winds started to blow out turning gradually into a hailstorm, poor birds were trying to fly off every now and then but could not resist the hailstones and strong winds……  

Within minutes the whole forest could be seen swinging to the music of the wild winds. There were beautiful tides in the Bodensee which is not a usual scene at the lake which is generally very calm. Soon after this Konstanz became white with hailstones as if there was snowfall.

Myself along with all my labmates enjoyed every bit of the moment. We collected the hailstones and played them at each other…………. but there was other side to our enjoyment as well…………Due to heavy fall of hailstones there were damages to the houses and cars of some of my colleagues,  traffic in the city was diverted, and the local transport was totally disturbed….   It was raining heavily and endlessly. It appeared that there was no end to this rain. But gradually it eased out and finally we could manage our way to home…….
