Rain Rain once again!!

Almost all the people who were sweet enough to cal me up on my Bday asked me, why i asked the Rain Gods to bless us with so much rain!

Looking at the news, the situation is quite crazy, chaotic and heart wrenching.. people say that this is a natural calamity, who can you blame except for God, but that is so not true.

These are all signs of Global Warming and the floods, incessant rains, torrential downpours are nothing but warnings of the impending dangers...

and to answer my previous query, God is not to be blamed for this, it is we, Mankind who are at fault.

It is the fault of us citizens, that we are not maintaining our civic responsibilities, who are we to blame the government when we offer them bribe in the first place and then say that they accepted the bribe?

how many of us today, if caught actually pay the fine, most of us, pay the person some sum of Rs. and the government is deprieved of so many lakhs of rupees thanks to our pathetic attitude.

when the rains fell, we were quick to comment that the drains have not been cleaned, but then who cribs while paying the money to the people who come to clean it? who throws the plastic into the nullah instead of the garbage bin in the first place?

The truth is that, at the end of the day, the amount we give to the city and its needs, that much support the city will give us, lets get together and resort to be better citizens.

Why the railways resumed service after barely 3 hours after the blasts! with such a strong support system we should achieve greater heights..

so here's wishing and striving to have a better tomorrow!

i love my city, and i hope so do you..
Proud to be a Bombayite! :)
