Monsoon is here. And looks like its here to stay. In my hometown, Pune, its been raining non-stop for a couple of weeks. There are three dams on Mula and Mutha, the rivers in Pune, and all three are flooded. Same is the case in most of the coastal Maharashtra and Gujrat, including Mumbai. Traffic towards and from Mumbai is stopped.

Here, in Bangalore, its not that bad. It rains in the mornings and nights. I have observed that it almost never rains in the peak hours when people are coming home or going to office. Thats one well-behaving rainy season. :)

My school in Pune was very close to the river. I remember in the rainy days we used to stand in top floor gallery, next to the huge drawing hall, to see the water flowing under the bridge. There are markings on the bridge walls and they are supposed to be Danger Levels. We used to talk about the water coming up to the danger levels and all. Good old days.

Even before the school days, I remember going and standing on the lakdi pool, that is "Wooden Bridge", which used to be wooden in olden times but not anymore. There used to be so many people standing there looking at the water. And we used to wonder what is so interesting in water flowing under the bridge :). But in some weird way it was interesting.

I miss Pune Monsoon! :)
