In spite of all the muck & mugginess all around, Monsoon adds mucho character to the city... would be quite boring to have regular rains throughout the year. Also brought back some nice school memories. Nothing fascinating as a child than to have schools closed due to a rainy day!<br /><br />ShashankShanxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341891738591541565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-63192939471227798522010-06-01T08:58:22.422-07:002010-06-01T08:58:22.422-07:00Yes Behn - from 'snow days' to 'rain d...Yes Behn - from 'snow days' to 'rain days'.

In no other metro in India does it rain with as much fury as in Bombay, nothing beats it !<br /><br />Really liked your post, may I post it on my blog too ? Please ?<br /><br />p.s. One bit of monsoon trivia - apparently the monsoons always hit Mumbai by June 10th latest, and the last showers of the season are always during Ganpati Visarjan. Don't ask me why, have heard it, have observed it and am now repeating it.<br /><br />Zen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-3123970271440551882010-05-30T22:36:58.943-07:002010-05-30T22:36:58.943-07:00Another event also used to happen like clockwork o...Another event also used to happen like clockwork on June 1st in Kerala- the start of the new school year. The understandable wretchedness that accompanies the end of the summer holidays, combined with the pouring rains was a bit more than my not-so-naturally-cheerful nature could take when I was a kid. <br /><br />No combination of raincoat, umbrella and hawaii chappals (I wonder why they were called that- do they wear them in Hawaii?)could prevent me from getting completely soaked by the time I got into the school bus. For the rest of the day I felt like a miserable, walking clothesline.<br /><br />But even with these dreadful thoughts to overcome, some of the best memories I have from my childhood involves the monsoons. I can still smell the earth from the first rains, the hot tea that you get at home when you come in from the rain and the beautiful darkened skies just before it pours.Smoke+Mirrorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109716846091428406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135643188634165782.post-55071786193946470452010-05-30T10:30:56.236-07:002010-05-30T10:30:56.236-07:00Nice :) Disha just read this out loud to me! :D BT...Nice :) Disha just read this out loud to me! :D BTW, have you read "Chasing the Monsoon".
