There an equation of rains and Bombay that just strikes something in people's hearts I think...
Yesterday, there was heavy rainfall in the evening and I was on my way to Mindspace, Malad (W) for an appointment WITHOUT my umbrella! Extremely stupid! :)
I come out of station and I realise that I should've got my umbrella, having no option but to walk on I started walking towards some rickshaws. Obviously no one would go to where I wanted them to. Finally I approached a woman and asked her if I could share her umbrella! She put it over my head even before I could finish saying, "Excuse me... " She walked upto a bus stop with me and then she had to go her way. I managed to walk under the shade of some shop extensions till I decided that I had to buy a new umbrella. I approached the shopkeeper, but the cheapest umbrella he had was for Rs. 75/- Obviously I wasn't carrying enough spare cash!
I asked him to give me one on rent for an hour. He refused. I explained my situation and then the owner, a kind man, asked his son to give me his umbrella. I was so touched by his gesture! I mean who would do that! He gave me the umbrella and I managed to reach my appointment in time albeit a bit drenched!
On my way back, I returned the umbrella and was walking to the station, enjoying the sensation of getting wet!
