Over heard at a party yesterday:
\nwhiney voice: but it is raining heavily!
\nbored response: what do you expect – it is monsoons.<\/p>\n

The party was at Lavanya and Anand’s new place in Yari Road. Lots of people turned up. most had exciting rain stories to tell. Many had walked back through neck deep water. There was palpable relief at surving the whole thing. There was also complete gallows humour through the evening.<\/p>\n

But, to give whiney voice its due – it was raining non stop. And heavily. This morning, as the rain subsided slightly – i left for home – Andheri (E). I was travelling back by rick, and the roads were water logged. Not as bad as Tuesday, but waterlogged all the same. Juhu – near Tian – had water that was getting a Honda City to bob up and down. When you see a vehicle weighing over a ton demonstrating Archimedes Law on a Sunday after the deluge, then there is something that says “oh no, not again”.
\n
\nView from the rick windscreen – this morning 10 amish:)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I wouldn’t really go out today, unless i completely and absolutely had to. There is enough chaos on the streets without me adding to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
