Rains n The Mumbai City...




The season calendar is very well sorted in our nation and people are so very prepared to combat every change that comes in the Nature. Rain is among the ones where the people need to take some extra efforts for the self satisfactory win. Some strategise their plans with umbrellas, wind-cheaters or rain coats, some enjoy the rains and others beat it up with abuses.

The flowing water around, the smell of the wet-mud, fast growing green color around the whole city and spoting of Bhajiyawalas on the streets and enjoying bhajiyas with masala chai is a kind of stress buster equipments adopted by the people of this city during rains. Well I prefer Pav Bhaji and Makkai (American Corn).

Many drenched in water complaint about the wet dumpness due to rains, some complaint about the laziness that the climate creats in oneself and many other complaint about the traffic jams and the water filled small ponds. But all make it a point to enjoy the rains atleast once in the season by crusing to the nearest spots to the city like the Lonavala or the famous Khandala or the Malsegh Ghat and many new spots are in frame like Ambey Valley and Lavasa. The point here is Rain brings with itself the mixed emotions.

This rain must have got good vibe with it and many must be experiencing nice swing in their moods. Love for MANY must be in Air, but a bit drenched in water. Also Many may be down with the very thought of the mess that they would have to face to travel through the rains to work or for that matter anywhere.

!!! But very few like me would be scared of the rain. For consecutively Past 6 years rain has caused me loss in some or the other way but surely in monitory terms. Therefore trying to confuse Rain God with Words of Praise n Critics. Trying to save myself this time atleast. May Rain God Bless me.. Amen !!!

2nd June 2011, here comes the Historic day of the year. The City of Mumbai experienced its first rain for the year. Heavy winds and a good shower to start with. The streets of the city got a good wash and almost all dust got drained off, thats totally different that the side blocks of the roads are now somewhat filled with mud clay.

Hope this year everybody enjoies this season and also so do I. Hope I am kept away from the reason to crib about rains and that next time when I re-write this chapter, I have only good to talk about and that my scare turns into BLISS...
