Rain, rain, rain

It rained hard last night. When I went to bed, I heard it beating against our large window panes.

This morning, my daughter's friend called at six thirty a.m. "There are no classes today", she said.

"Yippee", said my daughter, "I can sleep some more."

I peered down from my balcony. We are on the 14th floor, and when I looked down, this is what I saw.

The Mumbai monsoon has indeed begun.
