The train journey from Mumbai to Ratnagiri during the monsoon is a treat to the eyes. As the rain falls, everything feels like a watercolour painting. Smudged greenest of green grass, a mix shade of grey in the skies, splashes of deep-red tiled houses happily standing out in the middle of it all, the occasional river overfull with rainwater bouncing away and everything washed clean. Simply my kind of landscape.
