It's Pouring Memes & Jokes As Mumbai Witnesses Heavy Rain

Monsoons may bring a lot of respite to people who have been tortured by the scorching summer heat, but it's pretty much the opposite for people living in Maharashtra's Mumbai.

Mumbai witnessed some dreadful overnight rains on Sunday with the city witnessing the disruption of local train services, vehicular traffic and severe waterlogging.
