While some parts of the country (read: Mumbai) are already neck-deep in the monsoon, other parts (read: Delhi) are still just about wetting their toes. But regardless of where we are, we’ll need adequate rainwear sooner or later.

A survey of small shops, street stalls and big retail shows that prices, on an average, have risen between 10 and 15 percent.
