Mumbai Rains

What a tragedy for Mumbai..

Watching the news channel and browsing websites for the latest info on Mumbai from Dubai, I felt very sad. The best part of my life was spend there and that such a tragedy happened to Amchi Mumbai.

But what was evident was the "spirit" of Mumbaikars in helping others and bringing back the city to normalcy. I tried calling all my friends, but as expected the telephone lines are still not working, got connected to few of my friends, was happy to know that they are all safe.

I sympathize with the media for hyping this event so much, saying Mumbai came to a standstill, the financial capital is in ruins etc etc.. hey c'mon, Mumbai had the country's highest recorderd rainfall in centuries and everyone expects to be prepared. This is ridiculous. 4 hrs of power breakdown in Dubai last month, brought the entire city to halt. These are unforeseen calamities, instead of criticizing, try to be helpful.

Still I am trying to get hold of other friends, lines are still busy, will keep on trying.

Long live the spirit of Mumbai
