Once again, the rains in Mumbai Brought back fears of last year's July As life ground to a halt “Can it be BMC’s fault?” Wondered Mumbaikers, as their days went awry!
Outlookindia.com 5/7/06 : Heavy rains paralyse Mumbai for the 5th consecutive day. Read more about it here.
I salute the Mumbaikars' resilience In the face of this annual nuisance BMC's year-long inaction And some knee-jerk reaction Donot inspire confidence.
Last year saw Mumbaikars' courage In the face of rain's fury n rage. This year's gonna be no different And there'll be prayers fervent To give them the composure of a sage.
Padmaja, it was quite interesting to land in a completely dry Mumbai just one day after the 'deluge'. It appears that media to some extent hyped up the situation. Some people explained that many of the deluge shots shown on TV were stock footage from last year's rains. So much for a true picture!
