In Photos: How Rains Brought The ‘Maximum City’ To A Standstill

“Musalsal baarish khidkiyon pe achhi lagti hai chhatay pe nahi”
(Relentless rains feel good on a window, not on an umbrella).

Such was the situation when the widely known romance between Mumbaikars and the rains turned sour. In no time, hundreds of people were stranded throughout the city and the system went for a toss. The city that never sleeps drifted off.
The lifeline: The Mumbai Local was full of stories. Stories that no rain could dampen.
