Devastation suffered by the forgotten Mumbaikar
by MILIND LAGWANKAR on Aug 27, 2008 09:14 AM  Permalink 

I have been staying in Virar since long and during the floods we were on the ground floor at Virar(W). Our small time home business (of dairy products) had been hit badly due to this and the power offs started by EB. The venture needed to dessolve/keep in cold storage(!) being the repercussion. This was an injustice to industrious Marathi Manoos?!

God Is Cruel

I think everyone from 'I'as indivisual to the 'INDIVUISALS'who are concerned for implementing the 'SYSTEM & POLICIES'are to be rebucked for this mess.Result is that year of hard work goes down the drain. God gives enough warning & indication.

Man is cruel to Nature!
by B.Gautam on Aug 09, 2005 03:08 AM  Permalink 

How can God be cruel? Man forgets conveniently about all his misdeeds! It is man who is responsible for tampering, spoiling and damaging entire environment of Mumbai for years now by enlarging filthy slums and polluting environment by dirt, smoke and radiations etc., removing the greeneries to construct multitude of buildings, obstructing natural ways for flood water etc., ! The damage inflicted is so large that Nature is much disturbed! Nature deserves sympathy on the contrary as man is cruel to Nature!

terrible tuesday, MUMBAI
by raj shekhar tripathi on Aug 03, 2005 12:08 PM  Permalink 

Once again nature has unleashed its fury - the entire mumbai city & suburb has been innundated and devasted. We can learn a few lessons from what has happened:
a) interfering with the environment has its own cruel devastating effects
b) we indians urgently need to check our population explosion & bring it to stagnation
c) we are known to be hadrcore corrupt people, hence no use taking about disaster & crisis management. Corruption has seeped so deep in our blood that overcomming malpractices seems to be a foolish excercise to us

Mumbai rains !!
by B.venkateswaran on Aug 02, 2005 03:36 PM  Permalink 

The outburst of Dr. Malathi in the context of losing
her valuable research materials, is indeed understandable and needs support and patronage!
There may be many Malathis who have suffered this way in the recent deluge !. While rain is always associated with prosperity, the rain of this magnitude
had indeed been devastating. Oh, God give us the strength to endure your leelas !

God cannot be so cruel
by M. D. Mascarenhas on Aug 02, 2005 11:28 AM  Permalink 

I sympthazise with Dr.Angleswaran and all the people out there who have suffered the loss especially the poor who always get trapped in such situations.

Please don't blame GOD for the what has happened, it is us humans who are to be blamed for the calamities and pain we cause to ourselves. GOD gave us the best of everything, but the greed of our NETAS, BUILDERS and OUR apathy to not fight them has caused all this. GOD didn't tell us not to get rich or be better than others BUT GOD did warn us in all our HOLY books. What goes round comes round? We destroyed NATURE and NATURE is paying us back with a fury that nothing can match.

If we have to blame we have the blame the BUILDERS, the CORRUPT MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS our NEATS etc, for not providing us with the infrastructure that goes with all the buildings,roads and flyovers that are being built at the cost of the beauty destroyed that GOD gave us. This generation is going to leave nothing but pain and curses for their future generations. If we don't learn from this experience then we are unteachable

I hope the netas, municipalities and builders wake up to this catastrophe and save the poorest of poor from future catastrohpe
