Mumbai Rains, A Guide To Survive (If You Don't,It's Not My Problem)

Here are some what not's, to do's for surviving this never ending pain in the ass called rains, applicable if you're a Mumbaikar.
Also note that whatever I write here may not be much help to you but what the hell! read it anyways

#1. It rains only when you have to go somewhere or come back home.
My advice, don't go anywhere, I mean you just had a shower why bother taking another. The rains spy on more people than the NSA, they may not know what you do at home but know when you leave or return.

#2. Umbrellas isn't enough to protect you.
You thought umbrellas are enough, well the rains don't think so, whenever you think you can get away with the rains using an umbrella, a little breeze is all it needs to catch you off guard and loosen your grip on the umbrella as the rains now attack your head.

#3. The rains decide the timing of the locals and not the officials.
The rail officials don't have any power during the monsoon, it's that time when the rain officials take charge and decide when a train departs and arrives, if you're a central railway traveler then may the gods help you.

#4. Don't trust potholes

Those little holes you see in the road filled with water is called a pothole, Mumbai has more number of potholes than the number of craters in the moon. If you feel like stepping on those which according to you look shallow, DON'T, it's a trap, they are all bigger from the inside kinda like the T.A.R.D.I.S.

#5. "It's sunny outside...I don't need to carry my umbrella today"

That is the most stupidest statement I've ever heard, you live in Mumbai, you don't trust your maid then how can you trust the weather or the MET department, if it's not raining in the morning it will rain in the evening, it's not raining in your area it will be raining in other places.

Well that's all I have for now, If I do come up with something more wacky it'll find it's way here in the list.

Till then......Curse the goddamn rains......Go on curse them.......
