I hate malls. I can't begin to tell you how much I hate malls. But, shopping for the weekly groceries was unavoidable and the grocery store is located in this very mall, a hop, skip and jump away from my residential complex. So off I went.
The good thing that monsoon brings with it is corn. I found fresh corn was available in plenty. There are a few vegetables which are so versatile, such as potatoes or even corn.
So I am thinking, spinach and corn, corn soup, corn salad, corn in the vegetable pulao, or just boiled corn to munch.
But somehow, while fresh corn is yummy and versatile, nothing quite beats the roasted bhutta (Corn on cob) available near Marine Drive. You can munch on this as you watch the sea lashing in all its monsoon fury. (See photograph. Not taken by me. I have provided the source of the photograph. I saved my photographs on Flickr and am having some trouble retrieving them. I will replace this photograph as soon as I can access mine. I just wanted to share the fury of the sea during the monsoons.)
Yes, monsoon brings with it slush, bad traffic, cold and coughs, but also provides Mumbai with water all year round and ushers in the corn season.

I could look at photos of angry seas all day. We don't have monsoons in Ireland, really. Just grey, and rain always. Although in fairness since I moved back to Dublin from Galway (on the west coast), the stormy season seems to be less stormy.
I didn't know there were so many uses for corn! Thanks for enlightening me :)
