Beginning of Monsoon "Season 2"?

Amid dark reports of a monsoon that is way below normal, we are in to an October which has begun with uncharacteristic rains. Floods have inundated 4 states disrupting normalcy. Reports also keep coming in on the typhoon in Philippines and stories of nature's fury in the Pacific.

So is it a time to pray for more rains or wish for no more?? The scarcity of drinking water that flows down our taps would make us do the former but the prospect of another episode of 7/26/05 in Mumbai has us hoping for the latter.


I would hope for the rains to continue pouring in to Mumbai in a moderate manner so that the dams are always full and we are not told time and again of the deficit in water levels. Also, we would have less pollution woes, less hot climate, wetter festivities and hopefully good health.

What say you?
