I still can not forget that terrible day. Everything was going fine till afternoon. Around 2 PM I started from my office in Prabhadevi to meet one of our clients in Lower Parel( am working as Sales Manager with an MNC ). Around 2 30 PM , amidst meeting i got a call from my wife that its a heavy downpour not seen before and i should immediately start. But like typical mumbai rains, i ignored and thought its lke routine rains and will stop. But moment i left Parel, trouble started. I could not cross the Parel bridge and had to comeback. Still I was cool & calm thinking of moving ahead when rains receds. Situation started worsening and i could see water level reaching half of my car doors ....I could see many Men, women and children getting panicay.. In the middle of the night, made one more attempt to move further but of no luck. Whole night was spent in the car with no communication with family. Only companion was FM radio. Next day morning, started around 7 30 AM but could barely reach Bandra and due to traffic jam, had to park my car near Khar and from there, started walking...thanks to Mumbaikars for distributing snacks and water .. finally reached home (Andheri ) around 2 PM...
You know what you are a looser!!!. Please go ahead and leave mumabi and India as we dont want loosers like you here. My advcie to you is do a proper checking about the corruption and other common problems regading the palce you are proceeding to, I think the best place for you will be in the middle to Thar Desert or even the Amazons will suit your looser type attitude but I sincerely think losser like dont have any chance of survival anywhere on this planet. You must look for some alien ship and migrate to mars or some planet like that but again I dont think you will survive. Any ways all the best and please GET THE HELL OUT OF MY MUMBAI AND MY COUNTRY.

Hi.. I'm actually not a mumbaikar.. still can understand the pain and apathy they're going thru. I still feel sad for them who pay taxes, vote for the right person (wrong peole getting elected, is different, out of our control), slog through out the day and still, no peace of mind. They go thru this pain of struggling for each and everything of life, be it medicine, education or for that matter for simple pleasure of living peacefully.
I honestly think they have the right to fell that they are being treated as substandard people and they have the right to take call of leaving that place itself.
Pls donot interpret movies, like RDB and give advices. I would suggest, instead of giving free advices, pls go and live there, show up what a common man can do and then poke your noses.

You bloody Loser! You'd probably sell your own mother if you had the chance! You know what, PLEASE do leave the country for any of the god-forsaken lands you listed. We're WAY better off without you!

Savio,
I firmly beleive that you are correct. One must look at their own atttude before pointing out a finger to the System and there should be some national pride in every indivudial. However, having said the same the point which MC is making is also very correct.
Why not opt for a better standard of living ( if one gets) in Western countries?
It does not mean that I hate my country if I desire to live abroad for better facilities!

Why do so many assume that the person complaining about problems in India has not tried changing things for better,is a loser,and would sell some relative off (usually the mother) for a better life?Face up,there are MANY problems in India.People complain about racism in Western countries,but do you think it's not present in India?Any1 remember the white missionary and his 2 kids less than 10yrs old burned alive in a jeep,just because they were white Christians?And the guy who did that was hailed as a hero and went on to win an election?!! Obviously politics has a lot of corruption anywhere,but there are some major differences.Look at UK politics for the past 1.5yrs.U'll c high ranking politicians have had to resign,sometimes because of their own mistakes,sometimes because of their predecessors mistakes!Now take our own babus:Laloo has been involved in 1000crore scam,among others,and he gets one minsiterial post after another.WHY IS HE AND OTHERS LIKE HIM STILL AROUND?Honestly,how many people would join politics to make things better?Many people's parents would say "what nonsense?!" and then let it go at that.Don't. Let's not fight each other,let's fight off the criminals ruling us

Its not coward to go away n enjoy ur life. All of u r saying that we shud fight with circumstances n live in India itself n do something for this country.
Let me ask u...what r u doing today to save India - politically n ecnomically?
we have got one life.... better to enjoy, have fun n live happily wherever u find happiness... doesnt matter whether in US, UK, Australia or anywhere else. Indian conditions r turning into a big shit - politically.... why 2 bear this when u can have life n resources somewhere else?
I Love India.... but that doesnt mean to waste life out here if u r not happy.
