Recently, we met Dr. Juhi of ‘Sanjivani' and asked for a few tips for safe living during the monsoons. She did tell us a lot and yes, she too enjoys the season like most of us, but hates what happened on July 26. Here is the excerpt of the tête-à-tête.

Q: Do you enjoy the monsoon?
A: Very much, I love this season.

Q: Where will you like to go in the rains?
A: I will like to go to Khandala, it is beautiful especially in the rains.

Q: Is it better in any hill station or in ‘Mumbai'?
A: I like ‘Shimla' among all hill stations and like to go there, but being a Mumbaite I love Mumbai and my favorite has to be ‘Mumbai'.

Q: What kind of food you prefer during monsoon?
A: There is no any such special preference. I like to eat good food and that should be hygienic and healthy.

Q: What type of precautions do you take during monsoon?
A: I don't take any precaution. I just lead my life in a healthy way.

Q: Do you choose umbrellas and raincoats or just pick up the black one.
A: I prefer the coloured ones. There must be colour in life.

Q: Do you like getting drenched in rain?
A: Not, for me.

Q: Is having a car a necessity during monsoon in ‘Mumbai'?
A: No, I don't think so. It is good if one has a car, but it doesn't matter much.

Q: What about the bad experiences of rain? What precautionary measures should the government take?
A: When it rains heavily it gets bad. I feel something should be done about garbage in Mumbai.

Q: If July 26 happens again then...
A: I can't imagine that horrible situation.

Q: At last, what would you like to say to the readers? Any message for them?
A: Stay safe and eat healthy and stay away from ‘bhelpuri' and ‘panipuri' till at least the monsoons end. -Sonu Anand
