Wouldnt it be nice to believe that the Storm is actually over and the calm is now on....anyways not going to delve too much on the rains anymore...as with everything people have a short memory and the mumbai rains is likely to be submerged in the annals of history as one of the many natural calamities that hit India....ofcourse the fact that Mumbai overtook Chirapunjee in having the highest recorded rainfall might stand for a long time to come....so I guess my great great great grandchildren/nephews/nieces might be able to relate to their friends about how one of their ancient relatives was stuck during the deluge of "Torrential Tuesday" on 26/7....well nice to know I am leaving behind a legacy and something for the future generations to talk about ... and I am still so young :)
Otherwise the rains have enabled me to spend an awful amount of time with my nephew Christy...with my penchant for making children cry it is kinda of surprising that my nephew follows me around like a little puppy...almost like that orange ad that shows the cute little puppy following the little boy with the caption "wherever you are we are there"....well in the case of Christy he also bites me like a dog...something that my sister accuses me of inculcating in him....well what could I do -his nose was sooo tempting....hahaha....okkk all your child activitists please calm down......in my defence it was a reenactment of a scene from "Finding Nemo".... but it is amazing to see them pick up adult habits....like the other day when people called me on the phone he kept asking me to tell them "can I call you back later?"...something that I have often told people when at my sisters place....I didnt even realise he was listening to me.....the only thing that makes him quiet is the Tom and Jerry show....
Everytime I see him I keep thinking....Hats off to all the mothers for taking up the hardest job in the world ..... over and over again..... 1 billion times over in India....
