RAIN IN MUMBAI!
Rain here is not a special word, unlike in Bengal. Mumbai has adapted itself from the torrential rain it receives every year. Although, people in many parts of Mumbai, still suffer immensely during this time of the year. Though, it’s a progressed city but rain here is a very decisive calamity. Surprisingly, kids enjoy themselves and so do adults. People intend to work casually in the middle of this season.
Appreciating this, people here are also habituated in the scorching heat. Folks here are hardworking unlike in Kolkata.
Rain here is unpredictable. The minute the sun shines brightly above you, you are supposed to expect rain in the next minute. Carrying umbrellas and raincoats here are no problem. The uncertainty gives people no benefit of doubt.
Overlooking the rain, there’s no winter here! It’s just summer and monsoon. So the advantage of that is that you can swim in the month of December! But that comes later, most people worry about their lives in the month of July to September. It’s a monster worry here.
Apart from this, monsoon brings a humongous amount of fresh water, which delivers potable water in the homes of most. The refreshing raindrops and light dark skies are a treat for sore eyes! The chilling breeze forces you to get up and arrange yourself a hot cup of chocolate and blanket!
I myself, get wrapped up in a blanket and gape at the phone screen for latest updates of weather.
