Flooding during the monsoons in Mumbai. (Image by inexplicable on Flickr.com)<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s the end of May and the south-westerly monsoon winds should be headed across the Western coast of India. This is the time when temperatures \u0924\u093e\u092a\u092e\u093e\u0928<\/span>\u00a0(taapmaan<\/i>) and humidity run high, guaranteeing the impending monsoon showers \u092c\u093e\u0930\u093f\u0936<\/span>\u00a0(baarish)\u00a0<\/i>a resounding welcome \u0938\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0917\u0924<\/span>\u00a0(swagat<\/i>). It’s also the time when even a short errand outside can drench you in heat and sweat, making even the crispest of cotton kurtas<\/em> go limp and unattractive. As such, it is not uncommon for most people to return home and take another refreshing bath that washes away the sweat \u092a\u0938\u0940\u0928\u093e<\/span>\u00a0(paseena<\/i>) and grime \u092e\u0948\u0932 (mayle<\/i>).

<\/div>Let’s listen to this conversation between a mother and her daughter who has just returned home from school.<\/p>\n
