Description

It was a long night..checking filters,batteries,tripod n stuff..but it was weather reports on CNN that were giving me this sinking feeling..we had cloud cover over Patna.

Was out of my tent by 5.00Am hooked cameras to my laptop..but it was bad. Totally overcast..not a shade of sun...& then it started raining..a smart shower..by that time eclipse had already started.My heart sank..one week of preparation..& now this..it wasn't fair.

Suddenly..I could actually see darkness racing towards us..almost like a flash flood..& in no time we were drenched in darkness..it was freaky..& wonderful..absolutely mesmerizing..birds were totally confused..dogs was going crazy..then suddenly..there was light :)

I cud see the faint crescent after totality.. I grabbed my gear..climbed to my vantage point starting shooting..it was unbelievable how harsh the sun was..I just kept going till the moon was off the sun. It was a disappointment not to witness/capture the ring..but at least I experienced two day breaks within 45 minutes..& was bang in middle of total moon shadow as it raced over us. ..I am thankful ..happy..exhilarated..lucky..to be here at Patna when this happened. Thank God for small mercies :)

I WAS THERE :)
