Ask anyone whether they love their city, and the answer is going to be a wholehearted YES! However, probe a little deeper and you’ll get a few gripes that each person has with their city. Bengaluru (Bangalore) has its traffic, Delhi has its scorching heat, and for people in the Financial Capital, it’s the Mumbai Rains.
People in Mumbai will be the first to defend their city, but that does not mean that it is all rosy. Mumbaikars face their own share of burdens, from overcrowding, to the traffic, the Mumbai Locals, Potholes, etc. All of which get so much worse, when the Monsoon arrives.
Non-stop rains for days on end, and greenery all around. While this makes the perfect mood for Chai and Pakkodas, it also makes things harder for people who travel for school, college, work. Love it or hate it, Mumbai Rains are here to stay, for the next few months at least.
Here are 19 tweets that encapsulate the best and the worst of Mumbai Rains:
1. All suffer equally.

Despite all the good and bad, a Mumbaikar will still always exclaim: East or West, Mumbai is the best. Be it during the scorching summer heat, or the relentless Monsoon Rains. Still, we can’t deny that each of these 19 tweets speaks the truth. Agree or not, Mumbai Rains are here to stay and we Mumbaikars will have to deal with them, one way or another.
