That rare event in Delhi, a rainy week, captured on Instagram
A selection of Instagram images of Delhi's rains.
A monsoon season when it hardly rains is considered normal in Delhi. Delhites hear of rain elsewhere, take solace in listening to others complain of the inconvenience of rainfall, but don't actually expect showers in their own city. When it does rain, it doesn't pour. It drizzles a bit and traffic comes to a standstill. Delhites think of Mumbai as a foreign place where people carry umbrellas all the time.
The last few days have reminded the capital's denizens of what rainfall is like. They tweeted, Facebooked and Instagrammed the event the way the sighting of a rare phenomenon should be. Here's a selection of some photos, even as the weatherman has promised another good week.
