Driving my Swift ZXi in a Thunderstorm

It’s been raining on and off in the City of Joy for a while now. It’s a cold winter sort of rain and last night was no exception. A huge build up during the late afternoon and by evening the skies plunged into darkness with dark clouds looming heavy overhead. Lightening and thunder followed and then there was a squall. Gusts of wind blowing the downpour in all directions ensured that the rain was short-lived. It did continue with a couple of drops here and there, but the lightening kept illuminating the black skies.

This was the perfect weather to take that long clear road home. It was a slight detour but worth every single extra kilometre. The AJC Bose Road Flyover that starts from the Park Circus 7 point crossing runs for 2.6 kilometres over the AJC Bose Road and descends at the Race Course. Just before getting on, I decided to switch my camera on in video mode for the first time and capture the stretch on camera. I captured the lightening, some crazy driving and the sheer joy of this clear 2.6 km stretch. Rihanna’s music on the stereo did add some flavour to the drive.
