Rain Rain came again!!!

Its 28th July 2008, I am sitting in my Airoli office, and really bored! The weather outside is wonderful and romantic!! Its being raining in Mumbai for last 2 days now, and 2day its worst, & so, other branches left by 4:30pm! People are all waiting here for the time to turn to 6:45pm, so that every1 gets to go home! Rain has become a part n parcel of Mumbaites. But over the years what has being more palpable is the water logging!!!

If I recall, during the time when I used 2 go 2 school, every monsoon we used to just have 1 day when school would shut down during after like 3-4 lectures and all of us used to get all blissful & walk back home in rain and waist deep water logged!! But now a days, its like become 1 se in every month of all 4 months of monsoon! It’s sad to see, even when we say the country is moving ahead towards becoming an super power, something as necessary as drainage system is going from bad to worst! I still think of a good rainy day as a beautiful, quixotic day, but the fact is, there r millions on the streets of the city who will very easily loose their homes, worst are those who don’t have a house and die of cold and the water - born diseases! It’s really shame thinking about the current state of affairs of this country where 24 blasts happen within span of 48 hrs, and the citie’s financial capital has no choice but to shut down, due to rains.
