I am presently in the USA but will always be a mumbaite. When I first read about the rains I called my school friend who also is out of the country and spoke about our schooldays...and the fun we had in the flooded streets. But when I could not get through to my parents or any relatives and I realised the situation is far worse than the school time rains....my 15 yr old cousin is traumatised after seeing a dead body by the side of the road.... My only concern is Why is the municipality ( no matter which party is at the top) always caught unaware? I pray for the safe return of all the stranded people and hope there are no more casualties...but knowing MUMBAI THE CITY and HER PEOPLE I know she will bounce back....
