Mumbai Monsoons - The Second Coming

It’s happening again. After a continuous downpour last night, the scene outside Takshila once again reminded of the waterworld that was created few years back. Some brave hearts were venturing into the water, letting their mechanical stallions do the fighting and stay alive. There were a couple of people, amongst this lot, who were stranded in the middle of the road blocking further traffic and causing too much inconvenience to the pedestrians. Check out the fresh pictures from today morning:

Mumbai Monsoons - Here It Comes

It is 3.52am right now and I am busy working on a business assignment. This post comes as a break from the last three hours of concentrated effort, wherein I have been trying to assess how a recent strategic move by a telecom operator is going to affect the overall dynamics of the competitive landscape. Amidst the framework that I was developing, the windows suddenly started rustling. And behold! Here is the first drizzle …. and I am counting the first few drops on the window pane. This short shower is the bearer of the announcement that the monsoons are around the corner.

Bye bye hot humid weather! … Welcome monsoons and the new of challenges that it often brings :-)!

Monsoons and Mumbai - The Saga

Mumbai monsoons are back. The city was in a mess today, and normal life came to a halt once again. Here are a few pictures that I had clicked in the morning. I had been waiting for the rains to slow down, so that I could leave for office in the morning. Today was an important day as I had a training scheduled for my team. Armed with my laptop, I just reached the main gate of my society, Takshila. And behold!! There whole road right outside the gates was flooded with nothing plying and the autos nearly in water. So I just came back and changed, and went out again to capture the interesting sight.

As I was going to put the pics online, the electricity also went out. However, the laptops saved us, as we ended up watching two interesting movies with our lappies running on battery.

The pictures are from outside the gate of my residential society - Takshila - in Andheri East.
