Summer.....the warmest season, the period from the summer solstice to the autumnal equinox - in the case of Mumbaikars, the double edged monsoons!!

To Mumbaikars, it's about Alphonso Mangoes (Rajan Krishnan); the long weekend retreats to family homes in villages (Rahul Das); the parched landscape (Sanam C.N); the constant cooler - the sea (Shamendu & Dileep Sharma); the fenetic pace of people rushing to reach shade / cover (Bheemaraya); the beauty of early summer & the season of growth (Pramod G & Manish Chavda); the moonlight, drying back water and the overgrown nullahs (Preetha Kannan); the quiet fragrance of the blooming Passion flower (Khyati); the rich, spreading leaves of a lush lotus pond-(otherwise just a stinking pond) (Kajal); the stories embedded in the hot peeling walls (Santana Gohain); the constant demand of the sweltering heat - water (Pratul Dash); the lazy afternoon indoors playing cards (Shubha Gokhale); the watching of the old movies & reruns - new ones are restrained in their release (Pritam Bhatty); the redolent long afternoon sitting in the shaded part of a verandah, dreaming (Sanjeev Sonpimpare) or just lazing in bed (Prajakta Palav); for children the long summer break of unending play (Chanda Vaze); the aimless surfing on the net with time hanging (Rudragaud L Indi) and the sometimes comforting but deceiving dark clouds viewed from the Gateway of India(Pramod Kumar)!
