Niladri Kumar, sitar player
I would love to drive around Lonavala and Worli Seaface during the rains. Both are convenient to reach. One is above the sea level, in the hills, and the other is over the sea itself. But I dream of experiencing the rains at the foothills of the Himalayas, someday.

Monsoon
Monsoon is the best time to get behind the wheels and leave the maddening city life behind.

Kunal Kapur, chef
Every monsoon, I pick my car and hit the Delhi-Jaipur Highway. The highway is well-maintained, has a good connectivity to the Pink City and enough spots to enjoy the environment. There are many good dhabas on the way to enjoy pakoras and chai as well.
