After waiting long enough for the clouds to rain over us, most Mumbaikars enjoy getting drenched to the bone! Every monsoon, bheegna toh banta hai yaar!
2. Listening to Music from the Golden Age
Not many feelings happen to beat that of the pouring rain and befitting music. My favorite rainy-day tunes happen to be the likes of Rimjhim Gire Saawan, Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaae, and Eena Meena Deeka.
3. Food!
Moving away from the stereotypical pakoda and Aloo Bhajiya, I like to live the monsoon to it's fullest with a plate of Kanda Poha! One hot plate, along with a cup of chai (Tea) is what I like to call the "Dhinkchak Dhapak" feeling!
4. Sitting on a windowsill
Sometimes, just sitting on a windowsill while it rains outside is a wonderful experience in itself! Like they say, The sound of rain makes everything better. So shut your eyes, and take it aaaalll in!
5. Going Higher!
Terraces and hillocks give a better feel to the rains. I happen to have some personal experiences on the terrace of a certain Customs Colony in Powai! With five absolutely close friends, a breathtaking view of Powai Lake and winds that seemed to love blowing through our hair! God do I miss those times!
6. Puddle Jumping
Being heavier than normal, the only thing I like wearing is Jeans and T shirts, and I maintain my style statement even in the monsoons. Now, everyone knows how much of a pain it is to dry denims. But me! Naaaah I don't care! Puddle jumping is one of my favorite activities, more fun when in a group, and I couldn't care lesser about wet jeans!
7. A Hot Cuppa!
And I'm not even referring to chai! What I am referring to is the typical South Indian Love- Coffee! Everything from a simple cup of instant coffee at home to my favorite Irish Nut Creme from Gloria Jean's makes my rainy-day!
8.Being Sporty!!
I'm sure everyone would agree outdoor sports on rainy days are HEAVEN! Football, Basketball, anything! It's always fun!
9.Being a Bookworm
This is for when I feel lazy. To curl up in the sitting area in my room, which I like calling "The Cozy Corner", with my blanket (The LOVE of my life) on with a good book makes me very comfortable! What makes things even better is to fall asleep halfway!
10.Making Paper Boats
God Bless the roads of Mumbai which double up as mini rivers in the monsoon! They just never let me get bored of paper boats from ever since I was 7 up until now.
