If you're a Bangalorean and have abandoned your couch to step outside anytime during the last week, you may have noticed that its actually raining now! No, not the fake hindi-serial shtyle shower raining.. actual, actual rain!
The monsoon was supposed to hit Bangalore sometime during May.. but the weathermen have had to keep guessing... like they'v been doing almost all their lives!
Mind you, there were indeed a few showers and sprinkles before but none of them were The REAL Monsoon(TM).
You know why? 'Coz The Real Monsoon (TM) knows you.
It knows your office timings and starts raining 5 minutes before you leave.
The Real Monsoon knows when you've planned a big weekend and doesnt rain on other weekends.
The Real Monsoon fakes a bright and sunny morning so that you dont take your rain gear and THEN pours down like its the movie set of "The Day After Tomorrow".
Now that The Real Monsoon is here, its gonna hit you in the face when you least expect it and wet your pants only in certain areas that makes you wanna go crying to your momma.
And Bangaloreans being.. well.. bangaloreans.. are gonna faithfully forget to stack up on rain gear, again.
Its like, they haven't lived here in the past how-many-ever-years to do a simple thing like taking a jacket or an umbrella or even a plastic cover.. and be caught "off-guard" yet again! Sheesh! So people, bring out those umbrellas, wear those long coats, put your rain..er.. game faces on! Unless, of course, getting pneumonia was on your to-do list.
Despite the misery that the rain brings us, there are a lot of joys that comes along too. I have to admit, that I can remember only one. Like, it is THE best season for food.. hot parathas, spicy chats, cheesy pizzas, bonda bajji, its all soo soooo good!
Rain gives us these hunger pangs that can make a pregnant lady's food fetishes seem like the Olsen twins' diets. And I plan on using this to my advantage to gain some much needed weight.. or else, people who know me know that I might just get blown off by a gusty wind. Might I add, If you haven't already watched it, now is the perfect time to watch the movie Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs.
So happy showers to y'all and Drive safe!
Never ever speed up when its raining, especially on a two wheeler! I once did a face-plant on to the back of a Scorpio SUV when I tried to do that, and believe me, you don't wanna do that.
Bonus points if you can stay out of pothole-ponds that the BBMP has added recently.
They recently held a meeting to discuss Monsoon preparedeness and concluded that they've been caught with their pants down, yet again. Its like they never put it back on since they were caught doing the same thing last year!
Horoscope Forecast for this season-
If you're a frog in India and you wanna be single, this ain't a good time.
But if you're a school kid who wants to practice some kayaking, then its a very very good time.
If you have some more free time while you pretend to work/study, you can check out this photo gallery by bbc.
