DAY 1873
Jalsa, Mumbai June ½ , 2013 Sat/Sun 3 :25 am
It is as all can see coming up to a time of 3: 30 in the morning ! I have a early call tomorrow morning and a rest, especially for my back is a must ! I leave the decision to all of the Ef …
Should you wish me to continue or should I make up for it tomorrow morning .. ?
Ok … got the answer .. its continue … so I do
The monsoons have reached Kerala and the Lakshdweep islands .. this is a good sign .. a week later, traditionally, they should be over Mumbai .. this is an indicator of a normal monsoon. We survive and depend on this rain phenomena .. and much of India’s produce depends on its performance - the monsoons I mean !!
For some it is a much waited delight, for Mumbai and indeed the entire Maharashtra, the ‘paus’ is a great joy … there is a romanticism attached to it - the dark rain threatening clouds, the rain itself, the levelled temperatures, the hot eats and drinks, the special festivities .. just such a joyous moment ! For many that survive on the footpaths and the slun regions of the city is an unwelcome sight. Homes get destroyed and flooded, facilities are lost … ahh .. a woeful sight for the lesser advantaged !!
For us and the family, the shades are up to prevent any leakage .. it does rob the natural atmosphere of the pouring rain, but it also secures many aspects of it …
May this monsoon bring prosperity to the nation, may it not extend its harshness to those that cannot cope with it, and may the festivity attached to it be filled with success and prosperity .. !!
Its short this one .. tomorrow it shall be of length ..
My dears good night … my love
Amitabh Bachchan
