Aduvana thappu solli solliyae munarum nenaikkum jeevan naan illai. I already have enough on my plate, with elderly parents to take care of and a job that is as hectic as it gets. All these posts, data compilation all done during my free time. Before passing judgmental comments, please remember that. I am minding my own ways and choosing to ignore the negativity. I don't seek recognition, nor do I want to be the face on TV during heavy rainfall events. All the major news channels know this. I rarely accept TV interviews; only when they persistently request and it happens to be a leave day do I agree. But I won't lie, a few encouraging and kind words from people keep me going. That's why I still try to read the comments. To be honest, weather blogging isn't as enjoyable as it was in 2015. Those who have known me for a long time understand what is in my heart. Jealousy, the race to be the first to post, arguments over who is right, things have changed. The joy and spirit that once made this space special seem to be fading. I would rather work behind the scenes, sharing my interpretations and making sure people and the Government can use them to the best of their ability. That is what matters to me, not publicity or recognition. Regarding yesterday's rains: Yes, we had predicted that it was an ideal day for rainfall across North Tamil Nadu and Chennai. But if you had asked me yesterday morning whether Chennai could receive 300 mm of rain, I would have said there was a 0% chance. The broad setup was favourable, but the sheer magnitude of the rainfall was beyond what I expected. Weather will always have its surprises. I will continue to share my interpretations honestly, acknowledge what I get right and what I don't.
