Cold Mumbai

Cold and Mumbai !! An oxymoron one would have thought.

But we appear to have brought our London weather to Mumbai. Mumbai has hit one of the coldest patches. Two days ago, on Feb 7, the temperature was 8.6 deg C. That is almost unbelievable. I had to wear my jumper to work with the cold weather.

Frankly, for us it is better this way than coming into some hot and sultry weather. three years ago, when we moved to London from Singapore, we had moved in december and had to weather the cold. But it was fun in a different sort of way - the shopping for coldwear in Singapore and London, the first experience with the snow, the kids making the snowman.

The big difference between London and Mumbai is in the commuting - it would have been a cold walk to the railway station in Beckenham in the UK. In Mumbai, the chauffer driven car is an affordable luxury.

In Mumbai, the cold weather continues !!
