It is no news that Monsoon rains cast a spell of magic over Mumbai city so strong that the love for the city quadruples in a heartbeat. The rain washes away sweltering summer heat, it washes away the temper of the locals, and the worrisome city takes a break. Whilst the people of other cities take a trip to nearby spots to burst off their stress, a simple walk along the Marine drive in drizzling rain does that for them.
The city never stops,
Whether it is calamities or blasts.
It's not because they don't fear,
It's because they need food to eat and clothes to wear.
The city of glamour and fashion,
The city of love and attraction.
The city has got its own style,
And it changes from mile to mile.
The above lines do prove that the city is a fighter, more of an ever learning well-oiled machine. But even the best of the learners need a break. And Monsoon rains do that for the city. It allows the city to take a break, to let things loose for a bit and get revitalize for another year of struggle.
Below are few of the images that are able to capture the essence of the amazing love affair that the city has with the Monsoon Rains.
