A Dark Knight

11th July 2010, around 11.30AM.

As it was Sunday, I was lazily browsing through all the channels in TV. I was frustrated that I could not kill time with that idiot box. Most English news channels are obsessed with world cup soccer or Srinagar curfew and they were arguing whether it's right to bring army into the issue. I was exhausted and moved to a Tamil news channel, Sun News. The 'Flash' news shown in that channel woke me up. It said, a large dark circle has formed around Sun and people in Chennai, Kanchipuram are witnessing this rare spectacle.

I ran upstairs to check whether we are also able to witness this spectacle. To my utter surprise, Oh My God..I was seeing that..It was like a Dark Knight has come. A large, dark circle was seen around the Sun. And in the borders, rainbow colours were seen. I ran downstairs and alerted my dad, mom & bro to witness this. And also, as always, I didn't forget to take camera. :)

All of us witnessed this spectacle and I also took some snaps.

Astrologists said, it was due to moisture in Earth's atmosphere. I could not understand this theory. If someone knows, please let me know. :)

Enjoy the photos..Oops..I mean the Dark Knight :)
