Mumbai has seen the wrath of God .....

it rained, it poured so much
mumbai was back to basics

your HONDA city lies stranded
your fridge is empty

watever food u stocked had gone spoilt
u were stocking food for 7 days
when your neighbour was hungry

mumbai depends on the farmlands for its food
which cud not be transported as the trucks had no diesel
the Pumps need power too

plastic money didnt count as ATM's depend on electric power,
which had to be switched off to prevent fires due to short circuits

ultimately, u had to depend upon yr neighbour who had a lower caste, a diferent creed

u had to eat humble pie
and ask for help

all along u had looked down on him for being lower caste, creed etc.,

dis old man had to use his legs, he trekked 6 km, when the taxi cud go no further, becoz of the flood waters

as i trekked i saw the hand of God, i saw a rich man's father being carted to the crematorium on the 4 wheeeled carriage of a vegetable vendor

i was befriended by an auto rickshaw driver, who went out of his way to take me home, when he was running short of gas, and what is more

he didnt overcharge, while we consultants charge on the basis of the client's capacity to pay
