After a few months of soaring temperatures and impossible heat, it's lovely to see some signs of a let up, in the form of fluffy clouds with an undertone of a dark, rainy promise. The hot afternoon suddenly turns cloudy and one is filled with a burst of energy to go out and enjoy. Only, one remembers the humidity levels and steps back into the cooler vicinity of the drawing room with a tiny balcony of plants providing a verdant tone.
The summer months belong to walks at Colaba, the array of icy-cool fizzy drinks at Churchgate station, the carts carrying hunks of ice and many colours of sherbet, fountains of sugarcane juice and earthen pots of cool, refreshing kulfi with a few spoons of rabri soaking it. Taking in the sea at Marine Drive, getting a bit lost amongst the stony foundations of the University area and the Fort is what I really wish to do on a cloudy day like this.
One day, I'll probably end up doing and writing about it than just wishing I was out there doing it.
