Mumbai, Jun 1: First rains of the year hit Mumbai on Thursday, May 31 and took the citizens by surprise.
Stranded wherever they were
When facing shower, take cover
Wet ride
Together in rain or shine
While a majority of them were relieved at the break from heat, a good number were unprepared. Women and shoppers were held up at shopping malls and markets.
Two-wheeler riders were also taken unawares and went through hardships without the rainwear.
Citizens, with the very mention of monsoons, are reminded of the havoc the rains created in the middle of both 2005 and 2006.
