Its becoming disgusting to see how year after year a city is crumbled to its knees with a day or two of rain (how so ever incessant it may be). Its the same story every year - the first real downpour will stop the city, trains, tranffic, offices all halted. People stranded. Then tens die. Army will be called. Media will carry articles of how indifferent administration is,how the BMC took crores and no do any thing, ususal mudslinging at all that non-sense, no action, all talk democracy does ! And some how we Indians excel in that democracy. Then there would be many calling this is the spirit of Mumbailaers. How they can bounce back from a terrorist attack to a flood.. all in a day. While tens die, and thousands see their life changed after the 2 days, the rest of India will move forward with the another crap - Prez election, an India-SA match etc etc. For us there would be so many things more important than a few ten lives. This is the sort of country, people we are. Hearltess idiots. Its time Mumbaikers stand up, say this is enough now. Stop the city if that's the way to clean this mess up. A city stopped for a few days today would be better than to get it stopped each year, loose hundred of lives, and in the process fill the pockets of the idiot beureucracy. That would be the real Mumbai. Let's stop acting to be another Shanghai. Let's first try to be a city to live in.
