Set Fire To The Rain With Our Ultimate Monsoon Guide
Warm Up With Some Chai, Maggi and Momos
Keep yourself warm with a glass of hot chaya/chai from these Top Tea Cafes in town that you can order in along with onion, banana bajis, and masala pakodas made at home. Not a chai person? Settle only for the Best Hot Chocolate to keep you warm and cosy. If rains mean a hot bowl of Maggi, then order in some from these spots in town. If creamy/meaty/clear Soup is more your jam, we got that covered too!. A hot plate of steamed momos in the monsoons is pure love. Check out these places in the city where you can order in Momos from.
Waterproof Dressing To Keep Yourself Dry
Stock up on raincoats from India Circus and The Label Life and rain proof footwear for your fam jam and yourself from these online stores. With rains comes the cold weather. Keep yourself warm and cosy with sweaters, pullovers, cardigans, overcoats and ponchos from Akiva. Get yourself some handknitted socks, caps and scarves from She Who Knits. Rains mean Vinyl bags and shoes emerging back in fashion (internally screaming). Check out Zara, H&M and The Label Life for some cute vinyl tote bags that would keep your essentials rainproof and rewind back to the 90s with pop colored bags and shoes.
Keep Your House Monsoon Ready

Check out Home Center's website for a range of flannel blankets and stay warm. Keep your home sweet home free of insects, bugs, and hoards of mosquitoes with natural home care products from Herbal Strategi.
