`
The gray sky, dimly lit
By a million Mumbai neons
The silent dark hills
Peacefully soak in a light drizzle
The dust-laden foliage whisper words of gratitude
As the first monsoon wind tip-toes
Through the great city,
So quiet, so silent,
Careful not to rob her
Of her hard-earned silence and her meager slumber.
