Oh dear God! It's happening all over again:((
Incessant rains
Water logging
Rising water levels
Traffic jams
Stranded people
Power failures
Unpotable water
Dead phones
No trains
Delayed flights
Floating vehicles
Forced holidays…
Loss of lives
Wiped out households
Tragic stories
Panic attacks
All this plus what’s left of Torrential Tuesday
Rotting debris
Unbearable stench
Floating Carcasses
Undiscovered bodies
Missing people
Muck
Grime
Well-founded fears
Rumours
Unfounded fears
Government apathy
Jokes about govt. relief work and its empty promises
Looming on the horizon is another dark cloud…an impending epidemic
God save us Mumbaiites! Please keep us in your prayers…
You are in the prayers.. and the prayers are gonna be answered :)

ReplyDeleteHi Sangeets,
ReplyDeleteI was there in Bombay for about a week. I should have buzzed you in some form! Tcha! I totally forgot. Sorry!!
They seem to have recovered well enough (minus the epidemic). And like any Mumbaikar, I was praying for a smooth transit from this misery for all the residents of Bombay. :-)
