Vinney Divakaran sent in this snapshot from Kadvera Hill near Chikabellapur, which is very close to Bangalore. "Seeing the whole town get drenched without a single drop of rain touching you is just priceless!" he says.

We got this one of a kitten lying in wait for water from Subie Issac in Delhi. "She was on our water motor in the evening hours, when the water starts running from the tap adjacent to it. This time, though, her wait was never over due to the scarcity of water supply," she states.

We received these photographs from Deepti Gaharwar, of her cousins enjoying the summer swimming -- can't tell whether the poor fellow who was jumped on had much fun, though!

And finally, here is another of several interesting monkey pics we received, from Prasun Sanyal in Delhi.

He explains, "I took this photograph at Delhi Zoo. When I was busy taking photographs of the birds, I saw a group of young girls eating ice cream. There were many monkeys around and suddenly one of them attacked one of the girls. The girl got frightened and her ice cream fell to the ground. The monkey picked it up and started to eat it! The moment was very funny!"
