The rain has come

The monsoon has started. I planned to go to Mumbai today (Monday) by bus but I was told that the monsoons have begun in Mumbai and it is not a fun place to be in the rain. I was also told that the ferry out to Elephant Island would not go in the rain and this was the main thing that I wanted to see while in Mumbai. Neela also said that at the beginning of the monsoon last year many parts of Mumbai became flooded and people were stranded in the vehicles for days and she was worried that I may not be able to make it up to the airport because the place that I was going to stay was on the southernmost part and it is a good distance from the airport. It has been raining here in Pune for the last couple days. It isn't a downpour but it is a steady rain. So I will be in Pune for two more days. Neela said that I was welcome to stay and I said that I only wanted to stay if they could put me to work. They said no problem. I will leave Wednesday morning and travel to Mumbai where I will catch my flight to Delhi as planned at 2:00pm.
