Do u know of any other city which gets the kind of rain that Mumbai does and still manages to survive the torrential rains? I don't know of any..... I have seen what rains do to cities in North America. They do not get such heavy rains normally, but if by chance some year it does happen to rain and there's flooding, then even these "super-powers" are unable to cope up and people choose to stay at home and not venture out. There is water-logging and flooding and traffic jams and similar problems even in US. But we Indians always like to blame our country and everyone else but thier own selves...
