Build up

The build up to a rainy evening. But now it has been a couple of days that the rains have been playing truant and we have been having sunny days.

Rainy evening

The on and off rains in Mumbai this monsoons. The rains have been very moody this monsoons. Of course we still have another couple of months for the rain to fill the shortfall

Cat

Mumbai is a city of strays. This stray cat has made a home for itself in a building which is partly occupied by offices. By the look on its face you can see how offended it was to have been disturbed for a picture! Apparently it feeds on leftovers of the office goers meals. The people feeding are happy that no food is wasted and the cat is happy that it has adopted a good home!

Common Houseflies

The common houseflies are a real pest. Captured these two fighting over a grain of sugar. They buzz you off! They seem to take over Mumbai in the monsoons! Very irritating..

Military

In Santacruz (East), a suburb of Mumbai, in a place called Kalina is this Military camp/outpost. At the gates there is a tank on display and during the monsoons it is protected from the rains by a tent.

The Taj

Hotel Taj up close. Even the pigeons seem to love the service and the ambience here. Cliick on the picture to see it in its original size and see the birds too.
