Rain Rain... part II

As I type this post from the comfort of my bedroom, I feel extremely lucky.

I woke up from my sleep at around 1300 hrs and saw numerous missed calls and SMS on the phone. Some from numbers I barely recognized. Some from friends I haven't spoken to in a long while.

All of them said the same thing. 'I am stuck (in office/station/road). Where are you? Hope you are okay.'

Just managed to speak to my brother-in-law, who's stuck in office somewhere in Nariman Point. People from my office are still stuck in Andheri. They haven't been able to venture out too far. I am damm lucky that my risk at 4 am paid off.

The situation doesn't seem to be getting better. it's 1600 hrs and the tide will rise in a lil while. The rains that seemed to have taken a break seem to be back with a vengeance.

Another thing that struck me yesterday was the sheer lack of cops or BMC (Brihanmumbai Muncipal Corporation) personnel on the streets. Wonder what everyone was upto?! And as far as our city planning and infrastructure is concerned, the lesser said the better. There's nothing that I can say on this matter that has not already been dissected and done to death time and again.

Hope that the situation gets back to normal as soon as possible. There's only so much that this city can take. And I think that Mumbai's back is pretty close to cracking right now.
