Now that the flood waters have subsided I think its the right time to say something - "Me mumbaikar" has an indomitable spirit but enough is enough.Every damn politician in his ever condescending tone of salutation congratulates people of mumbai for their spirit - point is we dont want your salutations any more , we want facillities.Shanghai is a pipe dream but Mumbai is the reality where disaster control was nothing more of a joke. This takes us to the challenge which I would like to throw open to the Maharashtra government. In July 2005 the government managed to get through via the excuse that this is an unprecedented amount of rainfall. What if we have simmilar rainfall in July 2006 ? Will our disaster management measure be ready to take on a simmilar disaster in 2006. This is a challenge to the government to turn this city around in the next one year at least in terms of getting us ready for 1000 mm of rainfall if it ever occurs. Maybe next year the common mumbaikar will congratulate the government of Maharashtra for their "indomitable spirit".Till then I remain sorely disgusted with a government that easily could be from any party. Wake up you politicians!Wake up!
