Wanna see(read) how its like being here in Rajasthan?

Actually i planned to upload a video showing a sand storm cloud in pilani.but could not do so coz our net rocks

This is where we live. You can see vast barren lands, huge clouds of dust closing on us. Nothing stays upright in Pilani,  every now and then a hot, dry and dusty wind comes and feeds us with a lots of sand, smears our body with a layer of dust that makes any general bitsian long for an unnatural bitsian thing to do,bathe. Scorching heat, dusty winds have become quite common for us here.
There do not end our woes, usually the sandstorm is followed by a violent rainfall, with large drops.The water doesn't stay long though.when the rain stops it looks as if someone sprinkled some water for the dust to settle down. By the next day the sun does its work and gives us back our normal Pilani and there comes another cloud of dust, fast approaching to smear us again.No matter what you do to cover the ventilators, windows, lots of dust sneaks in and cover the untouched books, monitors, piles of clothes.Poor comps,they face all these hardships and never say a word. Yet, we do not bother dusting it off :).We help the sandstorms accumulate some dust,for it might have lost some depositing somewhere, by removing grass at the root level and leave it open to join the vast open atmosphere. the dust waits there until one of these winds come.Of course the purpose of removing the grass altogether a different thing.
Its only the end of a paragraph,not the end of our woes again. so far its just one half of the year am talking about.by the way,you might not be aware,we only face 2/3rd the woes, coz there is no rainy season for pilani. So, it leaves us with the only other thing,the winter for the other half.in summer the temperature never goes beyond 30.Am talking from the other side of it :).


 happy that am leaving this place in a week. :). Of course am gonna come back for the other half,but for now i somehow skip one hard part.

Winter:next post...
