Mumbai Downpour

Desi Fun(da)
It has been raining cats and dogs in Mumbai over the past couple of weeks. From a statistical standpoint take this, "the rainfall recorded in mumbai on 26th july 2005 was more than twice the highest rainfall ever recorded in India". The total rainfall was nearly 950 odd mm and it beat Cherrapunji which as we all know has the highest rainfall in the world. But statistics apart the downpour is still on and Mumbaikars are in a tizzy. The whole infrastructure is bogged down and is not getting the required breather to recover from the 26th. The airport is still not completely functional. The trains are having a tough time staying open and the drainage system has never seen so much water ever.
With the loss of life and damage done not only to the financial capital of India, we have seen the repurcussions all over the country. It is high time our corrupt politicians take note that people are soon going to come down their necks if they don't start serving the very establishments that they were elected for.
A minute for the people who lost their near and dear ones.
