Mumbai rains are back and this time they’ve decided to show who the real boss of the city is (I use this line every year). In all seriousness, people have been advised to stay at home today because as Mika Singh aptly put it – Saawan Mein Lag Gayi Aag. But the people of this city, who have faced floods, waterlogging inside their homes and a fuc%ing deluge are thick skinned enough to crack some nice jokes! So check them out and laugh along with me.
1) My swimming pool brings the boys to the yard, and they’re like – eww.

2) Of course there were ‘invest in a boat’ jokes.
Get one of these in case you are planning to go to work today. @TrafflineMUM #MumbaiRains pic.twitter.com/O3j1rVxRyF — venke (@venke) June 19, 2015
3) Riya decided to spend the day, the best way.
Best time to catch up on some sleep. #MumbaiRains

I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it.
4) Malad subway and alligators, because they have to compete with Borivli and leopards, right?
Malad Subway. Why do they even try? Just throw in some alligators and call it a moat already! #MumbaiRains — That Goan Boy (@schmmuck) June 18, 2015
5) Work hard, play hard!
Moving out in #MumbaiRains to reach office is the closest most mumbaikarrs will every experience adventure sports 😀

6) Pooja basically said out my thoughts loud (NOT) I’m too lazy to make plans.
Ok .. Did it stop raining?? I just made alternative plans that DONT involve opening the office.. * #MumbaiRains don’t you give up now!* — PoojaS (@PoojaSolanki) June 19, 2015
7) Rohit mentioned Jaadu and I was so happy I sang the Jaadu song.
It is so gloomy that Jaadu would’ve starved to death! #MumbaiRains
— Rohit Lodha (@rohitshahmi07) June 19, 2015
Om Om Om Om.
8) Row row row the boat.
Don’t step out if you don’t have boat with you. #MumbaiRains #oldnostalgia — Kris (@82krishnaraj) June 19, 2015
9) Lots of boat jokes no?
Now that #MumbaiRains is trending, I hope my Mumbaikar friends are having a nice time boating across the city.

10) Notice a pattern?
Don’t step out if you don’t have a boat with you 🙂 #MumbaiRains on high – Reporting @nishatshamsi @imvivekgupta — Ravi Dubey IBN7 (@ravipratapdubey) June 19, 2015
11) OH GOD, I GET IT! STOP WITH THE BOAT JOKES ALREADY!

12) This person used a Game Of Thrones reference and I have started crying because why do bad things happen to good Stark kids.
Every Mumbaikar right now. 😂 #MumbaiRains pic.twitter.com/Jrmqe9Nszy — Zephyr (@shilpAce) June 19, 2015
13) Tinder time!
Opened up Tinder this morning. I matched with two women in raincoats and one umbrella seller.
— Sahil Shah (@SahilBulla) June 19, 2015
Go with the umbrella seller bro!
14) Vir Das made most sense (as he always does)
New rule. During heavy rains, school stays open, make all kids study urban drainage engineering. So one of them can grow up & fix this shit. — Vir Das (@thevirdas) June 19, 2015
15) I found my spirit animal.
Is this the end of the world? #MumbaiRains
— Chinsi (@Chinsi) June 19, 2015
It is.
16) And I also found the best Amrish Puri reaction gif ever! Thanks boo.

The point is, never lose the ability to laugh, however bad the situation is. I should become a life coach, I know.
