Mumbai Rains

It was nothing that serious, the day felt like a normal one,

A moderate shower of monsoon,

Mumbaikar was all set to catch some fun...

Started off my morning with an ear shutting cry from crows...

That they were pretty pissed off with the climactic highs and lows...

Unprivileged to understand what they were saying...

To me, it sounded like a rap n trust me they were slaying...

Now I know the topic of their conversation,

It was nothing but climatic intimidation...

Unlike every day I was late to reach my workplace,

Traffic is the reason and it was at its usual grace...

Showers gradually catching up the pace, with no intention to stop,

This was in that situation a cherry on top...

All set to leave at 3 thinking the conditions were fair,

Just to eventually realize I was gonna experience my 1st monsoon nightmare...

Advancing down the road I could see the water clogs,

But was too ignorant as my vehicle sailed like a wooden log...

Cutting through the clogs I hurled towards my destination,

Looking at what laid further woke me up to realization.

A full jam of vehicles as far as my eyes could see,

Couldn't even turn back so that was my place to be...

7 hrs at a single spot, was figuring out the time and its uses,

All my attempts were useless as #MithiNadi was literally hurling abuses...

I gotta witness the spirit of Mumbai,

Cz roughly 70% of the lot was trying...

Bt the spirit has a darker side that I saw,

All that the remaining 30% did was Crying...

There was a time when I belonged to the 70% lot,

But suddenly my spirit used to wear out, and all I felt like doing was crying a lot...

We Mumbaikars are used to adjust to situations no matter how shitty,

We gonna cope up with it n make ourselves look pretty...

Having a spirit to fight is obviously a good thing to carry in ur casket,

The last 24hrs I have seen a hint of what lies in NATURE'S BASKET.

Whatever the conditions are the truth remains the same...

No matter what kind of abuses dawn upon this city,

MUMBAI has n always will bounce back to its FAME!!!
