It is tragic to see what the city of Mumbai is facing... the rain gods have lashed out against the city... thousands stranded without food, dry clothes or shelter, many buried under rocks from landslides and even more trapped in their homes and offices with nothing but the reassurance that the rain gods will have mercy on them some day... hopefully soon.
The lifeline of mumbai the local trains are at a standstill, the BEST is not functioning, the water is too deep for cars.... people are walking it home. People are stuck in their car with water flooding in... a person i know left marine drive to head home and reached thane, his destination 18 hours later!!
There are innumerable such stories of people struggling to get home but for those whose homes are now deep in water where do they go... there isnt dry land left in Mumbai...
And to add to their plight the rain continues.............

I am aware of the situation that 'the monsoon' has inflicted on Mumbai...but one has to realise that the city is trying to support far more than its fair share of people. Therein lies the real problem...
Its the true spirit of every mumbairkar that may hell break loose- they'll face each torment with tactful splendor.
In mumbaiya jargon-we say---"hota hei yaar--life tu chalta hei rahega!!!!
Salam Mumbai...
Nish..
