Rains wash off our city drainage system, airports & train gets choke, business dies..once in blue moon is ok but this happens every year more over happening in every city. The sign of development is always infrastructure & we don't show our growth though we are growing by having such a bad infrastructure. Doesn rain only happen in India? Does snow, rain, floods, sand strom doesn't happen in other countries? Be prepared to talk about the same topic next year....see you in 2008.

All our planners, thinkers, and we ourselves should try our best to start living in natural conditions, giving a small space for concrete structures to stand and more space for rain water to be imbibed into soil where ever it strikes the ground. If we make hundreds of hectares of land concretized or barren, no doubt we are inviting runoff, consequently floods. At last me have developed to such an extent that we have forgotten to save and protect the three most important elements for our living that - pure air, potable water and unadulterated food. Except this we are getting all other thing on this earth, now. These things nature has provided us. But we destroyed it arrogantly to hurl the flag of material development. At least now everybody should try to give less importance to live in concrete structures and more importance to live in natural locales, that is within our residential or office boundaries. When 75% of living space is covered with vegetation and only and hardly 25% with bloody concrete, the human existence can be guaranteed for the future. Otherwise the human existence itself will be questionable. More planting - less mining, more naturality - less artificiality, is demanding. Try to minimize all kinds of pollution at all three stages like mining, manufacturing and utilization levels, as whatever we are now noticing is due to global warming. The main culprit here is our unending wants, those demand manufacturing, that in turn demand mining.

Yeah what you are saying is its like flushing your system with a laxative. Thats a good line of thought. Rain from the sky washing off all kachra from Mumbai direct into the Arabian Sea. Good.
