    42 Stages Of Every Mumbaikar's Monsoon Morning Commute

    May the odds be ever in your favour.

    It's too hot. I hope it rains soon. The sun isn't out yet? Oh there are clouds in the sky! Awesome, looks like a nice cool day. Ah the pitter-patter of rain on the roof, the monsoon is here!

    01. Okay, now it seems to be really coming down.

    02. Bloody Hell, I can barely see the next building.

    03. I should look for an umbrella. I'll have to leave for work soon.

    04. Now, where did I keep it. Do I have a working umbrella?

    05. My dog does think that umbrellas are his natural enemy. DID THE DOG EAT ALL THE UMBRELLAS?!

    06. Okay, phew. Found one. Is it still raining?

    07. Okay, yeah, it's still pouring.

    08. Maybe I should call in sick.

    09. Sigh, I wish I could, but well, I can't.

    10. Okay, let's get going. Umbrella - Check. Raincoat - Check. Ugly but in the end practical rain shoes - Check.

    11. Alright! Let's do this!

    12. Holy fuck, this looks worse than it did a minute ago.

    13. I think I'll take a cab, trains will be a bad scene.

    14. It's cool. I always get cabs outside my house.

    15. WHERE THE HELL ARE THE BLOODY CABS.

    16. Okay, all the preparations are not really helping. The rain seems to be penetrating all my rain wear.

    17. I hope my bag doesn't get soaked.

    18. I've been out here for 2 minutes, how can I already be drenched!

    19. *Car passes by and splashes water all over me* I'm literally 10 feet from the car, but it feels like I was hit by a tsunami.

    20. Okay, I'm gonna need a boat to just cross the road at this point.

    21. Phew I've made it across what seems like a river. AH there's a cab. I'm sure he'll take me, it's madness not to take someone with this kind of rain.

    22. 12 cabs later, PLEASE TAKE ME TO WORK. I'LL PAY ANYTHING!

    23. This guy seems nice, he's taking me. Wait, is the cab leaking.

    24. Okay, I'm not that late, only 20 minutes, it's a straight road from here.

    25. It's been 25 minutes and we've moved 2 feet. What is up with the traffic.

    26. Uh oh, why has the cab stopped, this can't be a good sign.

    27. Now we're just stuck in what seems like a sink hole.

    28. Alright, this is definitely not good. The cabbie is standing in knee deep water, staring blankly under the hood of the cab.

    29. Well I'm only 10 minutes from office, I can walk it?

    30. Okay, now along with the rain the wind's picked up as well.

    31. And there goes my umbrella.

    32. A whole mess of cars coming this way but this time, I'm at least 20 feet away. No way I can get more wet anyway. *SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH*

    33. Sweet Moses, when will this trial by rain end!

    34. Hallelujah, the office is in sight. I can only assume this is what sailors feel like when they see land after being lost at sea.

    35. Just one more road to cross, I can't get any more drenched than this.

    36. *Car passes by* Okay, I was wrong. Are these cars targeting me?

    37. Finally, I've reached - drenched, bag's soaking, umbrella flew away, and I just spent 38 minutes and 170 bucks on a cab ride that didn't even reach my destination.

    39. Things can't get any worse.

    40. Boss walks in, WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?

    41. ACHHOOOO: Me.

    42. I really hope I don't have to go through all this again on my way back home.
