Such lashing rains are a part of Mumbai life to which all the Mumbites are well accustomed. Mumbites are great people who take every thing in the stride & remain unfettered even in the face of very trying situations-be it 1992 Bombay blasts,26th November shoot outs by the terrorists or the incessant & unpredictable rains as this.Whether it rains or not,a typical Mumbai commuter is always on his heels & he feels odd if he remains at home even during such days of inclement weather with no indication of a particular time of his arrival back & spending the night with his family members.And for those who wish to enjoy a forced holiday,such a day is a God sent opportunity.I lived in Mumbai for 7 years & still discreetly remember as to how we moved back to homes in bands by walk through the knee deep rainy waters from Worli to Saantacruz;it was very thrilling & exciting.I have no hesitation to decry the pitfalls in the civic administration which is awfully failing in keeping pace with the much needed revamping of the drainage system of this great metropolitan,but its over all performance could certainly be stated as the best in India.For a city of this size & increasing population,it is its discipline in every walk of life that saves it.Though stigmatised with don activities & illicit/illegal dealings,a common man of the city is seldom affected unless he deliberately pokes his nose in su
