Rains, Floods and Flood lights…

Yeah I am back again. After a long time, just to write something.

Actually the previous post should have been titled “Rainy Season”, after all I was talking about Rainy season. There were times when Hyderabad was so peaceful, those days were way back when I was 9-10 years old. I mean then rains used to come seasonally and bring about good tidings to farmers and everyone else. That was 10 years back.

The situation changed now, I cannot comprehend the way nature works. Nature is a sleeping dragon, if you tickle it ever slightly, it leaps forward and sends forth flames of destruction. In ten years everything changed drastically. Now rains come as if they are gonna eat away the Farmer’s crop, as if they are going to have picnic with destruction. In cities people are found hanging swimming on roads to reach the workplace, some are seen hanging on Current wires/poles. I think in future we need to travel in boats, look at it this way, Maruti, Honda, Skoda would be preparing special boats especially for Indian consumers. And swimming would be the biggest sport, replacing cricket….

What saddens me the most though is the plight of people. Thousands are being galloped away into the waters never to return back, many more are missing. Is our government so useless that it cannot provide safety against rains? Is India so unprepared? We have become careless…

And by the way Champions League 20-20 is coming. I don’t know whether it would generate as much interest as IPL, but lets see.

The irony is Flood lights will be shining bright in cricket stadiums when the country is submerged in floods. But do we care?

Cheers
