The monsoon has not hit Bombay yet and we are already moving towards mid-June. This has been a particularly brutal summer in the city. April was a gorgeous and pleasant month, until around the 21st when the heat hit the city hard. I was away for a big chunk of May, but this was the hottest May I experienced in the city since the summer of 2002.
It has to rain really soon, or the paranoid municipal corporation is going to start water supply cuts. I am done with enjoying my summer jazz music. It's time to switch over to Lata Mangeshkar classics on a rainy monsoon night. I long to see the reflection of Bombay's monuments at night on puddles.
I can't wait to eat samosas and drink masala chai and watch the rain from my balcony window. We've waited long enough! Come on monsoon rains! Lash us with all your fury.
