Rain Rain Come Again...

i possess the greatest predictor of monsoons known to humans. My respiratory system. Forget the met department, the shedding gulmohar trees, the pied-crested cuckoo etc. A day before the monsoon hits Bombay, i get atleast a cough and cold. Depending on the severity of the first rains, this could be as mild a barely-there case of sniffles. So you can imagine what must have happened this time... i got viral fever which necessitated two days of bed rest. And lo and behold, the monsoon starts 2 days before the met departments predictions.

5 THINGS NOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS MONSOON:
1) Muck
2) Water logging
3) Huge, massive cyclone style 'cloudbursts'
4) Smelly wet socks
5) Stalled cars

5 THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS MONSOON:
1) Holidays due to water logging
2) Pakodas and chai
3) Raincoats and windcheaters in all possible colours
4) Getting soaked in a drizzle
5) Lush green leaves on trees

Happy Monsooning!!
