Mumbai Rains...Mumbai Pain...Everytime




Mumbai:The greatest city of India...Shanghai dreams..well well...here we are ...all set to become better than Shanghai. At 11 in the morning, I just crossed the Hindmata channel (in case you don't know,its a place in Dadar,Mumbai).Maybe I am exaggerating a bit ,but I wouldn't be lying if I say that it was quite close to swimming.It took me forty minutes to cross that stretch of road and now I am all soggy and super drenched.All thanks to the flooded roads !!



Nothing has been done all this while.The so called BMC(Brihanmumbai Municipal Corp..or whatever) is so incompetent that sometimes I feel if they deliver half the things they promise. Open manholes, flooded roads, blocked roads are just one of the few SMALL (pun intended !!!) problems we Mumbaiites are facing. Just one goddamn bloody rain ...and the whole city has come to a standstill ...well almost.Still the government,the so called bureaucrats,everybody claim that they are doing enough for our city. Everything is in place and B'bay can't be flooded this time.



But it did!! Again ! Just a few hours of rain since yesterday and I am stuck here...completely drenched and frustrated sitting in this Goddamn manhole of a cafe. Shanghai dreams....Not happening !!! I cant even think of one place where I can enjoy the monsoon rather than cursing it. Maybe my thought process has gone bankrupt!!!
