All summer we waited for rains, and were wondering whether it would really shower this year, the clouds would play mean tricks everyday, just when we would smile at pregnant clouds, it would melt away......even the cuckoo were asked to stop singing their false alarm and all of June we waited and waited, Finally.....
It rained...and the city is paralysed once again....but nobody is complaining, because when it rains in Mumbai, it rains and Mumbaikars are used to discomfort, year after year......there will always be flooding in low-lying areas, the trains and buses will always run through rivers of stagnant waters and roads will always break open to show their shiny teeth......
and we will continue to be walking casualty....
we have learnt to survive......
