Kahan apke Superheroes Khans, Bacchans etc. Woh to chutki bajake sare problem solve kar denge.
Lot has been said about the flooding in Mumbai during rains and Govt officials are being blamed for the same, but there are many positive aspacts too in this. I am staying in Mumbai for so many years now, and presently I am at Muscat (OMAN) for few months. During recent cyclone (GONU) here, although there was very less rain (normally in Mumbai we call that as drizzle), whole of the city was in Chaos for 4 days. Most of the so called high tech highways (monitored by radars and what nots)were washed away, Ground and 1st floors of the buildings in posh localities were submerged into water, thousands of cars were washed away, and some of the owners are even searching for their vehiles till now (after about a month now). I wonder if here it rains as in Mumbai for just 3-4 hours, the name of this city would vanish from the world map.

The biggest comedy is whenever the Meteorological department predicts something, it always remains a fact far from the actual truth. Its high time the climate news are taken off from the News channel and Meteorological dept starts predicting on their own set of assumptions. Have they EVER predicted right? These guys should either become technologically competent or shut up their stupid mouths forever. I am seriously planning to file a suit against them in the court of law for their inability as Govt has end up spending a lot without actual benefit being derived from them

Thats what I call precision. When ever Indian meteorological dept. says 'no rain', you can be rest assured that it is going to rain:)

My dear Friend, a city's planning is done based on averages and not accidental events. Just like we dont plan for earthquakes as much as Japan does coz we dont experience many earthquakes. Similarly, Muscat is a place that usually does not witness heavy rainfall, so the planning is done accordingly. Hence, what you saw in Muscat may be an exception but what we witness in Mumbai is an repeating annual drama.

The Cyclone in Muscat is not a regular feature and it happens once in a while.
Since the climate of gulf region is much diffrent from India (Mumbai), there is no need to have any infrastructure in gulf to deal with rains or cyclone.
You can not compare Mumbai with Oman as you know for sure that Mumbai will have rain every year come what may, as monsoon is very much part of our climatic conditions.
Hence it calls for a proper infrastructure to deal with monsoon and rains to deal with every year.
their is no point talking to the authority nothing can change them so we will keep facing the same situation year after year. it is high time that we all form a group and start working towards building a better nation. if anyone with ideas can come forward we can immedialtey, what i am looking at is a group of people with expertise in city planning, infrastructure, landscaping, road planning, sewage, etc etc to come forward and build a team and go forward, i am sure in five years time we can make atleast all the major cities the best in the world. please respond to rishirajrup@gmail.com i Guarantee that we can make this happen. so i once again request to all the best in their field to come forward.

RE:What is Shivsena doing - Orkut Ban
by Pradeep Satapathy on Jul 01, 2007 11:17 AM Permalink
Shivsena and Congress Govt. are a deep friendly relation. You see if cong. do any work then Shivsena remain silence. Why........... They are doing Goondaraj in Mumbai.
Rain is natural and cannot be helped. But the flooding in Mumbai is man made. Most of the land is occupied by towering building and hardly any free space left. any rain just more than the moderate amount is going to make floods. High time that BMC and govt stop new constructions in Mumbai and ground some older buildings.
What is the M.H. govt. doing. Last 10 days Mumbai is suffering. But the govt. is doing nothing and what is the Shivsena doing. Only know how to stop Valentine and how to ban orkut.

We always have a tendancy to blame the government for each and every thing. But have we ever thought about our own responsibilities towards the society? We will throw garbages aroubd without thinking about the after effects. We do not care about anyone else and we are always selfish what ever be it. We dont care a damn about others inconvenience and discomforts for our own selfish motives. Then we will blame the govt to clean all the shit. What are they supposed to do, take a broom and parade all over the city to clean the garbage? We first of all should understand that we too are part of the government and have equal responsibility to keep our surroundings clean and tidy. Blaming the government for everything is just like hiding your head in the sand. So be a part of it and contribute towards the society to face the brunt.

Wrong. I am not agree with you. I am asking you that if you throw your dust in the dustbin then BMC will not come to take it. Then what will you do. Automatically the dust come to road. It will choke the drain. In this situation what will you do.

Come on.... do you expect anything from Shiv Sena in this matter? If they raise this issue in assembly or municipal council, they will be working against their own leadership. Whether it is Shiv Sena or Congress, they are all same when it comes to making money. Our politician forget their party, caste, creed and religion when it comes to pocketing exchequer's money.
I have lived in Mumbai for more than 16 years and now working abroad for last 6 years. During my stay of 16 years the situation was no different. Every year we used the face the same problem despite of tall claims from BMC and TMC. There is a sheer lack of will on part of government, municipal corporations, politicians and the beurocrats to improve the things. Thay care a dam for the people and the city. This situtaion gives them an opportunity to make money every year in the name of cleaning and road repairing etc. These are ills of democracy which we are so proud of.
I have been staying in Dubai and have witnessed a tremendous growth due to sheer will power and vision of rulers. I feel this system is better than having so called democracy in India. At least people are not made to face unnecessary hardships.
The roads here are made by same Indian engineers and labour and nothing happens to the road for years together and no repair is carried out since there is no damage despite of temperature reaching 50 degree plus in summer. How come same engineers are not able to make this kind of roads in India? I think it is not difficult to guess.
Unless those corrupt and illitrate politicians are removed and thrown in the arabian sea, the Mumbai will face these problems year after year.

Dubai ? This place only looks good but actually, it's NEXT TO HELL !! You only get to earn lots of money (if you're lucky) and sleep around with many nationalities ELSE, be prepared to stay in a cramped room like animals. The Employers are ever ready to exploit you in whatever way he could. I've been in this country for 4 years and planning to return for good; so does my other countrymen. Even with ENDLESS PROBLEMS in our country, we can live - with DIGNITY and PRIDE. LONG LIVE INDIA and LONG LIVE MY COUNTRYMEN !!

hey, why blame BMC & TMC, arent you accountable too. When you walk on the streets of Dubai you refrain from throwing waste on the road or in a corridor. The reason is, you are afraid of being penalised. Would you do the same in Mumbai. Inspite of being grown up and receiving good education we need rules to teach us cleanliness and morality, do we? I stay in NZ and its been easy for me to point out things like these to people back home. Besides how many politicians would you throw in to the sea. Would you like suffering from absolute power, like the arabs do. At present you dont mind it since they pay you well, the underlying message is that they pay you well to keep your trap shut, else you leave their country. Sorry to say that brother. Do our brothers in Mumbai have an opportunity to be where we are, at present? We need to change. It's we who are responsible for all this, theres no point in blaming the BMC or the TMC.
As a citizen of this country ( I live outside Mumbai) I feel very sorry and angry for at the same time, on the state of Mumbai. Its disheartening to see such a glorious city being reduced to mess day by day. Politicians speak about making Mumbai a Shanghai, I think if they even make it old Mumbai, Mumbaikars will thank million times to administration.Seeing Mumbai reduced to its knees year after year it seems like no one ( administration) is committed to betterment of city, rather they are self centered and only interested in filling their own coffers. The sorry state of Mumbai raises fingers not only on BMC but also on State government which has failed to perform in many areas. Bangalore and Hyderabad are way ahead.
