Yasou!
So Mumbai has been voted as one of the worst cities to live in. No surprises there. Just when we got used to complaining about how little it has been raining since the past few years and how global warming in kicking us right there, it starts to rain more than it did in the monsoon of 2005.
So why is it raining so darn much this year? Here are a few guesses why:
1) The rains are God's remake of Michael Bay's Armageddon and this year he released the trailer for us to see just how awesomely wet next year is going to be. *oui ma*
2) Who in the sunny heaven's name took God out for beer fest last season because it seems to be raining in on us. *politely opens the umbrella*
3) Some pig-tailed kid must have been feeling hot and asked the Sun to play hide-n-seek with him. We can deduce the Sun is winning the game. Sheesh.
So whatever the reason for this last step of the evaporation process is, Dear Zeus, God of Rain with irresistible abs *swoons*, please stop emptying the water stations above. Our lakes and sewage systems are full, our vast pot-holes seem to be over flowing, the 13.78357% Rickshaw wallahs that agreed to ride are also saying no because of the rains; trains are shut, buses are crowded and my lone pair of denim jeans refuse to dry. Why don't you save some for next year? Because maybe when the BMC said we'll be prepared for rains in 2010, they meant in 2012. Hopefully.
For once, I hope it doesn't rain on us. Not so much at the very least.
Au revoir.
Miss Bee.

Mumbai's inability to deal with rain is what makes rains so shitty for us.
ReplyDeleteTrue That.
ReplyDeleteI'm usually one who LOVES the rain. Just a few times like these slightly put me off.
