Monsoon magic in Mumbai
By M Saraswathy | Mumbai | Last Updated at January 24 2013 01:49 IST
The one season that Mumbaikars eagerly await — the monsoon — is beginning. Ignore the traffic disruptions, potholes and sewage problems, and Mumbai is certainly a place worth being in during the monsoon. Where else can you see the otherwise serene Marine Drive beset by the sound and fury of a monsoon high tide, or the picturesque Gateway of India through a watery haze, in which water droplets appear to travel hither and thither in the air? Each location has its own monsoon avatar.
The rains can intimidate a newcomer to the city. But if you are in the right place at the right time — well, you won’t want to be anywhere else.
The best first stop during the monsoon is Marine Drive. It is at its best during the first monsoon high tide. The big waves come crashing against the concrete tetrapods that protect the embankment, and fat drops of spray splash onlookers, and fly all the way across the road and onto buildings on the other side. Yes, there are police personnel posted all around to watch and make sure that you don’t go too close to the waves, but you can surely sneak forward for that one moment. Hundreds of others do the same.
