Rim jhim...Monsoon Havoc!!!

24 hours and counting and the rain doesnt seem to die down..the predictions by the met dept say we are in for heavy showers the next 24 hours too and for a change ppl in the low lying ares of hyd and the rest of AP hope and pray that the MET dept is off the mark in its predictions..

Am actually amazed that hyd still hasnt come to a total stand still and that we aint submerged..certain estimates put the rain at nearly 30% of the total rainfall that hyd receives during monsoon in the past 24 hours!!! Mind boggling figures ...

But the problem aint the rain !!Its the roads!!Ditches..Open Drains... Potholes.. Manholes.. Uprooted trees..Traffic jams..Water stagnation..Breaking down of Vehicles..Stranded people...No transportation...U cant afford to move out of ur house especially on a 2 wheeler and for ppl who think that "Oh!! i have a car and i dont care!!"..guys sorry to inform u that its not gonna be a cakewalk..seeing some pics on tv of cars getting stuck in the middle of those pools...u have to be brave to set out in this rain..

Even more shocking is the coverage of this by the national media..hey ndtv and cnn ibn...u guys show stuff that only affects u and the capital region or certain parts of north..when the souths suffering..u guys just turn ur back..its shameful!!!u call urself the national media but our u actually national..a small rain in delhi wil become breaking news and when ppl down south are suffering its nowhere to be seen ..a scroll is all u guys can show....ok enough of this media bashing..

Comin back to the rain...ill be soon posting pics of the deadliest potholes in hyd and i would like ppl to contribute to it..lets make a diff...

And hey i love the monsoon and the rain..so apart form the above stuff..am lovin the rest..
