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….!
