Mumbai rains
The feeling of getting caught in rains in a metro when home is far away is quite a pain. Three monsoons back i left for home from office @ Nandanan at about 7 in the evening and reached Perambur at about 11.
You dont really enjoy when u find water levels going up and up in the roads and you are in your vehicle whose accelerator throttle is always raised lest water enters the silencer.
There was this joke going around that buses which left from Chennai city limits reached Tambaram after a food halt enroute:)
i thought that as a dreadful night until i read this
Man, no words to describe what the average mumbaikar has to put up with.

Thanks for the info. My local paper hasn’t highlighted it yet, I guess its tomorrows news. Saddening to read the accounts. God bless them all.
Something I wanna point out, don’t blame India only. We have those floods too. Flash floods of the city. Every city has its downfall so does every nation.
