Red
rules
in
monsoon
Do
you
enjoy
the
monsoons?
Yes,
I
do
enjoy
it.
I
love
watching
the
rain
from
my
window.
Do
you
prefer
to
get
drenched
in
the
rain
or
would
you
rather
stay
indoors?
No,
I
like
to
be
outdoors.
In
fact,
this
year
when
it
rained
for
the
first
time,
my
daughter
Pari
and
I
went
out
to
get
wet
and
we
enjoyed
it
a
lot.
I
was
suffering
from
fever
for
about
3-4
days.
After
enjoying
in
the
rain,
my
fever
was
gone.
Do
you
prefer
to
stay
in
Mumbai
during
the
monsoon
or
go
somewhere
else?
It
depends.
I
have
lived
in
Mumbai
and
Thane
and
have
thoroughly
enjoyed
the
rains
over
here.
But
I
have
heard
that
Lonavala
and
Mahabaleshwar
look
very
good
during
monsoon.
So
I
would
love
to
go
there
in
the
season.
Any
favourite
holiday
destination
during
the
monsoon?
A
few
months
ago
I
had
been
to
Manas
resort
which
is
in
Igatpuri
and
I
was
completely
bowled
over
by
the
beauty
of
the
place.
I
would
like
to
go
to
Igatpuri
whenever
I
get
another
chance.
Do
you
prefer
bright
shades
or
neutral
tones
for
wind
cheaters
and
umbrellas?
Red
is
the
colour
for
me
and
I
think
it's
hot.
What
kind
of
food
do
you
prefer
in
the
monsoon?
Do
you
follow
a
particular
diet?
I
am
a
garam
chai-and-pakoda
person,
especially
during
rains.
However,
my
husband
hails
from
North
India
where
a
dish
called
Meetha
Pooda
is
popular.
I
love
eating
that
during
monsoon.
Even
my
daughter
loves
it,
so
I
usually
make
Pooda
at
home.
Your
favourite
monsoon
song
/song
sequence...
It
has
to
be
"Barso
Re
Megha" from
"Guru".
Whenever
I
watch
this
song,
I
feel
like
going
out
and
enjoying
in
the
rain.
Is
it
necessary
to
have
a
car
during
monsoon
in
Mumbai?
It
is
not
compulsory
that
you
should
have
a
car
during
the
rains.
I
like
to
keep
all
windows
of
my
car
open
and
feel
the
rain
drops
lash
against
my
face.
Once
I
had
ended
up
drying
my
car
seats
with
a
dryer.
What
precautions
should
one
take
during
monsoon?
Whenever
you
observe
a
change
in
the
colour
of
drinking
water,
make
sure
to
boil
it
well
before
consumption.
Never
step
out
without
an
umbrella
as
the
downpour
may
be
heavy
and
you
will
end
up
having
a
fever.
Take
care
of
your
health
as
health
comes
before
everything.
Any
bad
experience
related
to
the
monsoons
that
you
can
recall?
I
am
lucky
not
to
have
had
any
yet.
Touch
wood!
Suggestions
for
B.M.C?
First
of
all,
they
should
fill
all
these
potholes.
In
my
area,
even
if
it
rains
just
for
an
hour,
all
the
drainage
holes
and
streets
get
flooded.
We
regularly
pay
our
taxes
and
behave
like
responsible
citizens,
then
why
are
they
not
treating
us
with
dignity?
They
should
understand
their
responsibilities.
A
person
who
works
10
hours
a
day
values
his
salary
the
most
and
when
the
tax
gets
deducted
it
hurts
him
a
lot.
It
hurts
even
more
when
he
doesn't
get
the
benefit
for
which
he
had
paid
the
tax.
What
if
26/7
happens
again?
I
would
be
selfish
to
look
for
my
family
first
and
once
I
find
them,
I
will
help
other
people
in
all
ways
possible.
Although,
26/7
should
not
repeat,
if
it
does,
it
will
be
shame
for
BMC.
