PRAKRATI KA AGHAAT
 
Mumbai Ki Barsaat
Tandav Dikha Rahi Hai
Sare Shaher Ko
Pani Mein Duba Rahi Hai
 
Pani Zoro Se Baras Raha Hai
Hawa Tezi Se Chal Rahi Hai
Badal Zameen Pe Utar Aye Hai
Zindagi Belagaam Chal Rahi Hai
 
Railgadiya Rukk Gayi Hai
Sadke Jam Ho Gayi Hai
Phone Lines Kharaab Ho Gayi Hai
Airlines Ground Ho Gayi Hai
 
Yeh Prakrati Ka Aghaat Hai
Subko Sahena Pad Raha Hai
Koi Rasta Dikh Nahi Raha Hai
Kewal Prarthna Hi Rasta Hai
 
Praying for the SUNSHINE,
Rainful regards,
Ashok Shrivastav

Accompanying note from Ashok Shrivastav describing the situation..

Mumbai is under water.
It started raining CATS & DOGS at 1pm yesterday ( Tuesday, July 26 ).
Little later it was raining COWS & BUFFALOS.
Soon after it was raining CAMELS & ELEPHANTS.

Eelctricity went off in our area by 5 pm. The intensity of rain was so much that visibility came down to less than 100 Mtrs. We felt that the clouds  were touching the ground (the whole environment looked white).

Our MTNL Phone had tone, but it stopped connecting with most of the Phones. I got Mumbai samachar from Delhi. A friend of mine called me from Delhi on my mobile & he gave me all the news about the Havoc of Mumbai Rains, which he was watching on TV (we couldn't watch TV in Mumbai as we had no electricity).

Apne Broadband  Ka Band Bujj Gaya. This morning when I called their office, the lady on line told me almost weepingly that she was sitting in the dark (no Electricity), most of the employees had not come (she herself never went home last night) & she had no clue as to when the Broadband Service will be restored.

No newspaper today. No milk today. No domestic help today.

Electricity has come back this morning & we are awed by the TV NEWS.
traffics totally jammed on Eastern Express Highway, Western Express Highway & many many other major roads.
Airlines are grounded. Railway tracks are submerged in water.
It is like WATER WATER EVERYWHERE, NOT A DROP TO DRINK.
