The Monsoon



I always joked about the monsoon. As in, whenever it rained hard, we would refer to it as a monsoon. Then I moved to India. I have been taught a whole new appreciation for what the monsoon means for day-to-day life. I drive around in an Ambassador, which has very high clearance. Thank goodness. The photos from above are rather typical for the rainy season (monsoon), and I'm very, very happy that I have not had to wade through the water thus far. Unfortunately this has also meant that when my driver started testing the brakes after we got out of the flooding and we were still driving home, I was informed, "Madam, I'm just making sure the brake works. Sometimes it doesn't work so well after being in water."
