Ooooosh...!!

Hope no more damage was done !!

PS : Good to see you after a long time. I hope Sachin (??) is doing well.

I guess you are confusing me with some other Shashank...most probably from EOID...

We met in Cafe Coffee Day, for the IM meetup...

another one is there this weekend, at Essex Farms, try to join in..

I was fortunate enough to be able to latch down everything before the 1st gust came but the street was a mess with glass all over the place from surrounding buildings..

As for the Accord...i shall pass the wishes along Nick !

At 10 AM??

Looks pretty dark...

puchoo · May 15th, 2008, 10:30

It was dark, and dark would actually not be the best way to describe it...

machadinha · May 15th, 2008, 10:46

Aye... scary!

I've seen some nice clouds rolling in over Delhi, but that was about it.

So the city is alright, or was there major damage? Reminds me of a major storm here years ago. That was scary, I'll assure you. Being downstairs it was kind of fun to watch. Innocently walking up to the attic to do something, friends were frantically boarding up the windows with the roof tiles noisily flying about and falling to the streets. Yikes!

and just imagine, Polls falling, trees crashing in the middle of the roads.

Window Glasses were shattered, pots fell on Accords and god know what else damage might have been done.

No I remember you but I thought u and where we met but I thought you and the EOID S were the same. Silly me. Sorry for the confusion.

Despite the fact that my terrace looks like a clay ,tennis, court, happy to report that today was nice and cloudy uptil about an hour ago..it rained substantially enough in the morning to bring the temp down and the drive to gurgaon was just heaven thanks to it..
