I walked from worli to everard nagar on 27th July. My journey from office to home has shown the true spirit of this city.
Residents of King's Cirle, near Gandhi market were out on the roads in the torrential rain and the waist deep water just to guide people around pot-holes and open drains. I don't know their names, but there were two young men wearing mi-day T-shirts. If you read this, thank you very much. You were great!
Residents of Sion Hospital were out on the road distributing biscuits, hot meals and water to us. They opened their doors to hapless passengers of long-distance buses so that they could rest a while or use their toilets.
At everard nagar, where i stay, water was chest high. Once again, people living there were out, forming a human chain so that they could help people wade across to their homes. I salute these men, complete stranger, standing in waist-deep water for hours together just to help people.
This selfless spirit is what makes mumbai ticks. I want to thank every single one of the people who helped me get home safely. My parents stay in Pune and they too express their gratitude towards you all.
