Rain rain go away....

well....monsoons are soo strange...just when it started in the beginning of July it stopped....and there was a lull for about 15 days....days were getting warmer...and there was even a talk of how the water levels in mumbai was going to go down.....and I kept longing for more rain....mumbai is at its romantic best during the monsoons....and I kept wishing that it would rain again...

and boy did it rain!!! a years supply came down in one day....and before you could say "thank you God..now please stop" there was another deluge today....drowning some parts of the city yet again...once bitten the administration was better equipped this time round....there was information available this time round....and offices were forcibly shut by 2....pity for the people who actually managed to reach office after almost risking the normalcy of their lives...and surprise surprise the police were actualy using boats to reach people....so my idea of building a boat was not that far fetched right?:).......and as usual the most reliable source was the FM stations...prompting me to wonder how one could create a radio station for these kind of emergencies.....any ideas anyone?

its pouring outside...luckily I am at home....not someone elses for a change....watching the news to figure how badly my city is doing.....
