How did you kick off the season?

By God`s grace, I was working and that`s how my monsoon began. I can`t thank God enough for keeping the status quo that we are working.

3/16

What food or drink do you indulge in during the monsoon?

I live a very disciplined life so I don`t binge on anything. I follow Ayurveda so I have food that is good for the season. My food is limited and correct for my system.

4/16

I drink coffee twice a day so that is my only indulgence.

Favourite rain song on your playlist?

`Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho` by Mohd Rafi

Favourite monsoon memory in Mumbai...

I don`t have a favourite memory since most of them are painful because of the condition of roads.

<p>My favourite memories are of Lonavala and Khandala. We used to drive and eat food at `Sunny Da Dhaba` which is fabulous for dal, roti, rice and all sorts of non-veg dishes.</p>

Being pure vegeteranian I used to order dal and paneer makhani.

What is your favourite place to visit in Mumbai during the monsoon?

I don`t travel by road much so it`s usually a drive from the Sea link to town.

10/16

Cafe or restaurant recommendations for the season...

I`ve been to Backyard Brew, Versova twice and it`s a nice place to sit and chill during the monsoon.

11/16

Choice of outfits for the season...

My favourite outfit be it the monsoon, summer or winter, is long shorts with a hoodie.

What do dislike about the monsoon?

The part that I hate about the monsoon is the roads of Mumbai. I have no shame in saying it`s the worst infrastructure and condition of roads in this country. Every place in the country is improving but in Mumbai it`s only getting worse.

<p>Every year we have RJs talking about it, they call the goverment out but nothing happens. Every year it`s just the same. I have seen one foot deep ditches in the middle of the road. People are crying, some people are falling. There are so many deaths but nothing happens! The government doesn`t move an inch and it`s a sad scenario.</p>
