The meterologists were all certain that the monsoon would be a week ahead of schedule and would reach Kerala by the 24th May… turns out it effectively didn’t :|

Monsoon is a big deal for us, Coorg receives one of the highest rainfalls in the country — the good is that this tropical rain forest springs to life with lush greenery everywhere, the waterfalls are in their full splendor, rivers rise and in spate….and the best of all, White Water Rafting in the best location of south India begins!!, the bad is well..it rains..and rains and rains..and guess what..it rains some more!!!!

For us preparing for rain means, well, buttoning the hatches!! Get protective covers for all the roofs, make sure everything is waterproof and well covered, generator rooms, kitchen, et. al is revisited in preparation of the anticipated rains

Bethel has been shutdown from the 1st of June, we will be back on the 19th of this month with Hema and family joining us..
