Delhi is known for its extreme temperatures- scorching summer heat, unbearable winters and dramatic monsoons. Delhi rains are all shades of beautiful and come as a saviour from the heat. Cold winds, drizzles and waterdrops on leaves, skies covered in clouds filling our hearts with joy, rejuvenating our souls.
