Mumbai, known as the financial capital of India, is equally famous for its monsoons. The city’s rains are a blend of beauty and chaos. On one hand, the initial showers bring relief from the summer heat and a sense of freshness to the bustling streets. On the other hand, this joy is often short-lived. Within minutes, the downpour can escalate, causing waterlogging, traffic jams, and disruption to daily life.
IRAS officer Ananth Rupanagudi recently shared a humorous yet insightful post on social media about Mumbai’s infamous rains. He wrote, “Only in Mumbai, rains change from ‘What Lovely’ to ‘Vaat Laavli’ in just 30 minutes.”
Ananth Rupanagudi’s post captures this duality of Mumbai rains perfectly, reflecting the swift shift from delight to dismay that the monsoon season brings to the city. Mr. Rupanagudi is an IRAS officer of 1997 batch currently posted as Financial Advisor, ICF.
