Today(Monday, June 25) Mumbai rains flooded the city and once again, the promises made by the BMC and their preparation were washed off in the rains. Several regions around Mumbai like Kalina, Santacruz Chembur Link Road, Dadar Hindmata, Mithi River bridge in Kurla saw massive water-logging and alongside, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) cautioned Mumbaikers to stay safe as according to their forecast there are more rains on the cards for the city. Unfortunately, the city had to ample loss due to heavy rains in terms of property and lives. Rain Wreaks Havoc in Mumbai, Thane; 4 Killed Since Sunday.
However, Mumbaikars have been known to be very strong-hearted and they have an emotional relationship with the monsoon. Not only do all Mumbaikars go out of their way to help each other, they also don't let the gloominess of this weather and its effects take a toll on them.
On a lighter note, we also saw #MumbaiRains trending on Twitter and some of the jokes under this hashtag will definitely make your day better.

True?
How, exactly how does rain stop at 9’o clock when you’re all mentally prepared for a work from home! Rain Gods were private bank employees in past lives🙄 #MumbaiRains #MondayBlues

Isn't this too relatable?
Employees - Can we leave early? Bohot baarish ho rahi hai.

I swear...
"My mom just informed me that there is water logging" is every Mumbai millennial's go-to line to try and get the day off when it rains.

Because bhajiya is BAE!
The only time in my life when I open twitter early in the morning are the days when Mumbai decides to pour incessantly #MumbaiRains
Helps me take decisions like should I go to office, is it safe outside, which bhajjiya to eat.

Delhi guy *calls friend in Mumbai* : aur kaisa hai?

Friend : baarish mei?
Delhi guy : paseene mei

Every. Damn. Time.
Wait for the rains like an entire lifetime and then when it rains, worry about clothes, skin, hair and shoes. #MumbaiRains

BRB, rushing to the washroom!
The only bad thing about monsoon is that you need to pee 73 times a day. #MumbaiRains

Navi Mumbaikars will relate...
My train is stuck on the Vashi bridge, which is surrounded by sea and it's raining so heavily and thundering and lightning and I am really scared for my life! What if this bridge breaks? OMG #MumbaiRains

The list won't end without a political joke...
Why rains in Mumbai but not in Delhi? What's the deal with Ambani, Indra Dev and Modi Ji? PM Modi and Indra Dev must resign.
Kindly donate to #AAP so that we can create artificial rains for delhites. #MumbaiRains
