 
Mumbai monsoons are back. The city was in a mess today, and normal life came to a halt once again. Here are a few pictures that I had clicked in the morning. I had been waiting for the rains to slow down, so that I could leave for office in the morning. Today was an important day as I had a training scheduled for my team. Armed with my laptop, I just reached the main gate of my society, Takshila. And behold!! There whole road right outside the gates was flooded with nothing plying and the autos nearly in water. So I just came back and changed, and went out again to capture the interesting sight.
As I was going to put the pics online, the electricity also went out. However, the laptops saved us, as we ended up watching two interesting movies with our lappies running on battery.
The pictures are from outside the gate of my residential society - Takshila - in Andheri East.
Hey!
Monsoons are back! cool..
haha! i see you..nice picture.. maine socha hi tha u must have written something about this in ur blog..
so hows the weather now?
Nice collection of pictures. Btw do you always store movies on your laptop for emergencies!!
Good going.
Ya BMC has proved that it is ready for any disaster … as it has updated its stock of excuses
Haha … Thanks for the comment Ujjwal. No dude … do not keep movies on my laptop. I let DVDs eat up the space, rather than my laptop :-).
Agree with you Anup. My office is on Andheri-Kurla road, and it was in a state of mess once again. There were also fears of 26/7 being repeated once again. My colleagues had to wade through knee-deep water to get back to their homes even now. Speaks volumes about the kind of work BMC has done.
And imagine … BMC has earmarked a budget of nearly INR 350 crore for the current year.
Oh thats quite thoughtful of you for your laptop. So what movied did u see?
Yeah … kinda careful with my new posession. I watched Hide and Seek - an excellent thriller starring Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning. And the second movie was my all time favourite - Scent of a Woman.
Have you seen these movies?
It was experience…
:))
..Me
Yes, it was an experience for sure. But nothing compared to 26/7 …. still remember wading through knee deep waters.
