In Mumbai monsoon usually starts around 10th June. So by 1st week of June people start preparing for the rain. They repair the roofs, erect temporary pandals, buy umbrellas/ raincoats, start making plans for Lonavla outings, plan a trek to Bhimashankar.
They start tracking progress of monsoon. Reached Kerala, reached Karnataka, Goa and Ratnagiri. They are now sure that it will start any time now. And then Weather Department says progress of monsoon stalled. Monsoon didn’t make any advance today. People become impatient.
By 25th June they feel frustrated. They start cursing the monsoon. They say it’s whimsical. By this time BMC increases water cuts. Their anger grows. Some do yagnas, do prarthanas and what not.
And by 1st July it starts raining heavily. They forget their anger and frustration. All they do is dancing. They love the rain and they can’t live without it. They celebrate the monsoon! \
This happens every time Sachin comes back to form and scores a Hundred!
