The racing clouds in the Mauritian sky, bulging with ominous promises of rain and wind, hurtled above us in whirls and whorls. I scrutinized the clouds' trajectories, trying to make sense of the auguries and predict an eventual break from the storm. Different layers of clouds sped through the sky in opposing directions. I gave up waiting for the sun, just as I gave up hanging my towels on the rack outside our bungalow; the wind, like my infant son with other objects, simply picked them up to dump them unceremoniously on the floor.
