Being brought up in Mumbai has given me this awareness that along with the romance that Mumbai Monsoon's are known to bring.. it also beings 2 or 3 spells of good flooding in the city. I used to enjoy those times especially since tey meant sitting at home sipping a hot cup of tea and getting ur hands on some hot Wada Pavs :)

But the last few days have been different and I guess the city that never stops was almost brought 2 a grinding halt due to the heavy rain spells they got in the last few days... And when I read news in praise of the Mumbai spirit, I feel proud 2 b associated 2 such a city.

I received a mail this morning from a colleague and she quotes:

if i cud i want to give a standing ovation to mumbaiites ...
specially .. shopkeepers ...milkmans...dabbawallas ... hospitals...
even the radio jockeys .. actually every single person who was a host to get someone home.. or gave a lift to people (my unexpected angel is this one ... mayb a 10 minute ride but it restored my thinking cap and strength to take yet another long walk ...)

all in all a experience we all wouldnt forget ever .....

And I say... Yeah WE ROCK!!

First things first. "Yeah" to Mumbai'ites. I have an email with some very moving photographs of the rains. Maybe I should send that to you.

Btw, nice template. Your work?

Thnx Reshma,

Yep tis definitely my work ;)

Stevie,
I guess it cud rarely get worse than this.

I say 'yeah' too. It is really a very sad thing to see the state of the city.
