The optimist in me is dying to write this. With every complaint I hear about the monsoon and the rains, I love them even more. So what are the clear advantages of the monsoons?
For starters, a drastic reduction in dust. How annoying is to see your flat dusty just 2 hours after a good cleaning? The rains take care of that problem.
Long Walks. Is there any other season in Bombay, when you can walk somewhere without drowing in your sweat and getting a headache thanks to the hot sun? It's not that you don't sweat during the monsoons but the cool breeze, the clouds and the showers make sure you don't fall sick en route to somewhere.
Hikes: Yes, the season of treks has begun around Bombay. Go on a nice hike to some of the wonderful forts beyond Kalyan. The energising hikes promise fresh air, great views, good company and a dose of endorphins.
A warm cuppa! This is the best season to dink warm chai. Few pleasures compare to having warm tea, listening to old Hindi film songs and watching it pour outside on a monsoon Friday night.
The lights. Yes, the beautiful monuments of this city reflecting on the water puddles, is something that I write about time and again and must photograph!
