It just the 31st of May and tap tap, tap, the first bout of rainfall in Mumbai.
It’s really strange how an event could change the entire way you look at things.
Mumbaikars no longer see the monsoon with the joy they used to. There is a stigma attached to the rains now thanks to 26th July.
The early monsoon, actually it was early be 10 days, swept the city completely off its foot
It started raining at 3.00 PM yesterday and by 5:00 PM my entire office was empty .Every one on the streets rushing to go back home. Heavy rain, traffic and delayed trains only made the situation worse.
Everybody was panicky, mobiles ringing everywhere and even the mobile network got jammed.
The funniest part- The BMC building was engulfed in darkness after the power room in the basement was filled with water and the generator wouldn’t start due to some technical hitch.
Jus a the BMC came out with a press release stating that the Mumbai city is all geared up to take the monsoon and nothing like the previous year would happen this time.
So much for them being ready
My first time in Mumbai and first time I’m seeing rains in the month of may. Walked from office to home, got completely drenched and to finish it had an ice-cream from the street stalls. What better way to start the monsoon?
