Wow. Talk about paranoia.
"Andheri is under water!"
- Aaj Tak reporter standing in 3 inches of water
"Is Mumbai sinking?"
-Poll question on CNN-IBN
And frantic calls from friends and relatives living outside Mumbai who assume one of the following:
1) Mumbai constitutes of 2 suburbs
2) All the news channels are honest
"We heard Dadar had neck high water. You live close by right?"
Yes. Dadar is 40 mins away by road. Unless the rain gets stuck at Mahim causeway like all cars do, it's quite close.
"Have you got emergency equipment ready?"
Yes. We have a complicated emergency response system. Step One is not picking up the phone. Especially the outstation phone calls.
Ok sorry. It's nice to know they care. But as i look out of my window and see people wading in waist deep water, the brand new car about to become a malfunctioning submarine and notice that water is in the wrong places (and not in the taps) and reports of people receiving electric shocks in the area...
i can't help but think i'VE BEEN THROUGH WORSE!!!
i guess that's what makes me a true blue Mumbaikar...

Lolz. Ok I shouldn't be smiling at "misery" but well written. We have been through worse before but maybe someone just wants to blame "heavy" rains to get away from thier job. Hint Hint - BMC.

the BMC has hit the pits this time. it hasnt rained as much as 26/7 and it rained more in south mumbai than the suburbs, yet all the flooding happens here only...
