rain in the desert

The world turned on its head on the weekend.. Seemingly anyway.
Doha, this crazy, desert town was besieged by rain. It is oddly refreshing and comforting to feel raindrops on your face after 9 dry months in Qatar. The last rain that I remember here was way back in April.. Its a good thing that it was so long ago too – I had forgotten the mania of Doha in the wet. Yesterday alone I saw 5 car accidents (normally its 1)..
Doha is not built for rain. Streets get flooded, drivers get enraged (or petrified depending on their disposition), buildings leak water (and wind) and even the mice try to venture in for shelter.. Despite all this, and the shock of being locked up indoors even more than normal, there is nothing quite like falling asleep to the sound of rain on your window, or the tin roof below it.
