How do I get to office

I look out of my window and all I could think - "how do I get to office". I don't notice the blanket of rain, I don't notice the trees swirling, the grass twirling, people doing their business as if there is no rain. But all I think about is how do I get to office and if I don't get to office what will happen. Before I can even blink, I have visualised my day today. But I missed something important - it’s raining. These clouds came all the way from the Indian Ocean and they split into two branches - Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal branch. On top of this, we have the retreating monsoon which are the same clouds flowing from north to east, after hitting the Himalayas. For this to happen, two major tectonic plates needed to crash with each other 70 million years ago. It is from this collision we got the youngest (and the sharpest, a bit like its people I think) mountain range in the world - Himalayas. Awesome back story for a downpour, what was I thinking again - oh yes how do I get to office!
