Rains, rains go away!

In the recent turmoil of the heavy rains in Mumbai & Maharashtra, we, the people of India, have learnt to blame the rains & the Gods for for all the disaster. I came across a page on rediff.com where some people have voiced their opinions and they clearly pin-point the Government for the plight of the financial capital of India. I, along with the others, would not only blame the government but also the Indian people who are responsible for the losses they have incurred in the last weeks pourdown.

It's about time Mumbai, and India as a whole, wake up to these natural "disasters" and get doing something. Maybe this is Gods way of telling us to stop misusing the environment!

A few years back I had come across a person, stading on the railway platform, who was constantly spitting on the railway tracks. I calmly asked the person not to do so as it's unhygeinic and not healthy for him and his family. He asked me how? In reply to which I explained to him in various ways. At the end of it, all he had to say was "apna kaam karo" (do your own work). This is the attitude of the people in Mumbai!!
