A slice if monsoon in Mumbai

A  SLICE OF MONSOON IN MUMBAI

 Mumbai is known for its rains / monsoons, when it just keeps raining, or rather pouring for around 3 – 4 months. After the long stifling hot and humid summers, come June and the skies just seem to open up and have rain descend upon us. And then it just keeps raining continously in various stages – from mild drizzling / occasional showers to heavy downpours all day and sometimes for as long as a week. Initially everyone loves it for the respite it brings from the heat but slowly it starts getting on everyone’s nerves due to the inconveniences that it causes.

There is just something magical about the Mumbai monsoons. The showers come and transform the island and the adjacent western ghats into a completely new sight. Everything gets covered with a protective plastic coating in multiple shades, people pull out their colorful umbrellas & raincoats, the sea gets wild and splashes with all its might all along the promenades, every tree turns green.
Just short drive out of Mumbai and you hit the hills which turn into all shades of lush magnificent green with countless waterfalls interspersed in between.
It is a wonderful sight to experiences to get rid of tensions, stress, anxiety
And relax….!

MUMBAI IS  A CITY LIKE NO OTHER!!
