Blue and Yellow Tarpaulin

The rains are here tomorrow, and as you can see tarpaulin is being sold on the streets of Bombay, one giant roll after another. Seeing huge quantities of water proof stuff put a smile on my face. And I remembered that summer will finally crack into the awesome monsoons, (which will probably bring the city to a halt again, I know). And with the first few pre-monsoon showers there is unanimous cheering across the streets nearby. Drop everything and get outside to celebrate is a natural reaction. I heard it all the way in my office. I love this about Mumbai.
