The sea has always been really

special for Bombay, hasn't it?

I guess I can see why..

.. In a city where anything

and e verything can change,..

.. the sea is a constant.

It'll always be here. It's beautiful.

A ctually A isha, you should see

the sea when it rains.

The Bombay monsoons are to die forl

People might com plain

about the traffic and the flooding..

but, I just lo ve the monsoon.

W hen it rains,

the sea looks amazingl

I can stare at it for hours..

it's really awesome.
