The Rains Of Two Cities
Recently, I realised(and was surprised to realise,) that rain differs from one place to the other!
In bangalore, it rains in short bouts of mild showers that hardly even wet your head if you walk through it. Mumbai's rain on the other hand, can drench you in a split second with it's unbridled fury, and it may be days before you see the sun again.
Maybe the rain in a city is a reflection of the city itself.. Bangalore's quiet, sporadic, mild rain reflects the benevolent, laid back nature of the city, while Mumbai's wild, untamed monsoon uncovers the restlessness, the fury, the impatience of one of the busiest cities in the world.
What do you think?
P.S. Given a choice, I would pick mumbai's "veda paoos" to bangalore's "mungaru malhe" anyday!

Nice blog..or do u call it an article...or is it a post?
i think its a post..
seriously man...even i miss the veda paus of mumbai
still remember the friggin 26/7 rains when we were stuck in college for 3 days!
...and that movie expedition to premier that never was... not to mention yuti submerged till her neck..or the varsha sahal we had at lonavala at urmis house!
there is a un-describable romance of the mumbai rains...
and coming to this godforsaken place chennai.....
i pee more in a day than it rains in a week.
aah, you remind me of vada paos in veda paoos, along with kanda bhajjiya and cutting chai! i've been to bangalore a few times and yes, they are easy-going and laid-back compared to mumbai... but benevolent, that's another story! i've been fleeced by the rick guys nearly every time!
