My nightmare of 26 July 2006!
by jibak majumdar on Jul 26, 2006 01:37 PM

All my Dear
Yes, It was my most memorable day in my life i.e.July 26 2006(Tuesday).That day I along with my friend Jayesh Joshi and French business principal Mr. Vincent had completed our products presentation to Colgate,Powai at 5-30 P.M and came out from their office and got into a tourist car in order to drop Mr.Vincent to Leela Hotel suddenly rains was comming like a water wave and from close window glass it was observed that thunder and storm and flooded all roads within 15 minutes. We are jammed on the road and our car could not move futher and we are stuck near Andheri-MIDC area.We closed window and we have no option but to stay inside the car whole night till 27 July morning and at 7 PM we left Mr. Vincent at Leela and started walking from Leela ,Andheri to Vashi ,my residence.While walking from Andheri via Kural we had to cross lot of water block and from kurla via high way I reached at 8 P.M. on 27 July, 2006.
After reaching home I could not find my wife and and my daughter who ultimately arrived at 9 PM with her colleage's husband.Relaxed!,very clear memory is that every turn of road people were offering food and water, express my gratitude.Pray for the victims.
