Monsoon? What the Hell?

If you ever come to India during monsoon season, here's a little tip: If you start to go for a run one day and you don't see anybody else on the street, turn around and go back inside. Once inside, grab a cup of tea and wait by the window. It will start off with a few drips, but in moments you will be witnessing the hardest rainfall you have ever seen. I must have missed this section in the Lonely Planet. 

Of course, the alternative isn't really that bad. You just have to slow your pace down and do a little zig zag action, because you DO NOT want to splash though the giant brown puddles that form along the roadside. Also, the hotel guys might laugh at you when you come back looking like a giant wet rat - that wears clothes - and is not a rat - and is just me - wet - from the rain. And if you are thinking that it is lame of me to take a picture of my wet self before showering purely for the sake of this blog, ehh.. what can I say?
