Monsoon Installments!

Since the night of July 13 Mumbai has been endowed with the fourth installment of Monsoon rains. This is not EMI, but UUI meaning Un-equated Unpredictable Installment!

The problem here is that UUIs lead to system failure disrupting traffic and life. Add to it the Hitchcock type suspense as to when and where and how much. If rain is spread uniformly over the days there is no system disorder. But when you don’t get rains for one full month installments are bound to continue.

And more grief! In between monsoon breaks the weather continued to be dark and gloomy leading to moisture in my CPU and the engineer just could not come to rectify it. So I could not sit on my PC and had no time to use the office one.

How many more installments left? Make your guesses. What else can you do!

Hail Monsoon!

Finally the unwilling Monsoon has become active! Good rains almost all over Maharashtra and continuing since yesterday. Good and continuing in Mumabai too--but still not good enough to fill the lake levels responsible for the mega city's water supply.

But no complaints. Continue the good work so that our farmers can joyfully start the good work too.

Monsoon Hide and Seek On!

The South West Monsoon is progressing steadily and has reached the national capital of Delhi yesterday. But it is not stopping anywhere for the pouring task.

Mumbai has a break of now over four days with very little rains. Some other cities are having the same fate and some other areas are having rains--but only temporarily. Mumbai is yet to see and hear lightning and thunder this season!

Is the Monsoon saving its efforts for one day show--the show of the millennium? We have not forgotten the deluge of 26/7 in 2005. And what about the country?

Monsoon is hereby requested to review and answer soon!
