Its such lovely weather nowadays in Mumbai. The pleasant chill in the
mornings, the nice long walks without getting drenched in sweat.
The monsoons are back in Mumbai.
And so are the frogs.
You can hear them croaking all over the place. Large frogs, small frogs, bull frogs, follower frogs. At every street corner.
Oh, what a noise they make!
And lest I think I can avoid them at home, now their croaking is also covered 'live' on TV - one bull frog on the day he is croaking the loudest. The other days are devoted to assembling a multitude of frogs together to create a cacophony masquerading as mating calls.
The monsoon also brings a great opportunity to wash all the dirty linen that has been accumulated since the last monsoon. It delights me no end to see the sense of community, where everyone spares no effort in helping each other in this washing.
The rain has stopped since the past two days, and the frogs have stopped croaking. But we are told to be prepared for a huge shower and consequently, extremely loud croaks for 2-3 days by a certain group of frogs from 17th onwards, before the monsoon passes by and the frogs retreat and the linen is pressed, folded and kept in the closets; till the next monsoon.
Till then, enjoy the monsoons. So long, folks!
