No...this isnt a Reference to the Geri Halliwell song.

Its a reference to the incessant rains that have been lashing Chennai since the North-East monsoon set in on Oct 12. Over 20cms of rain have been recorded since yesterday night. And it doesnt stop here - more rains are predicted over the next 48 hours due to a depression in the Bay of Bengal.

Speaking of predictions, the current rains were "predicted" or "hinted at" by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa more than two months back. Prescience ? No, just history.

Update: A colleague suggests that the depression in the Bay of Bengal may be named "Cyclone" Amma ! Ha ha !!
