Kuch Karo Na MUMBAI !!!

Ek aur mausam aa gaya .....Arabs named it Mansoon .....came from Arabic Word "Mausim" which meant weather...
Mansoon has always been regarded as life line of world's oldest surviving civilisation ..INDIAN Civilisation ...
But off late ..Mansoon brings terror attacks to many places !
We have a City Called Mumbai..Earlier known as Bombay ...
A city also known as one of the most dense places on earth ,A place often referred to as financial capital of world's second fastest growing economy, a city of dreams and aspirations ,a city which never sleeps ,a city which was gifted to Union Jack as a chunk of 7 Islands...Brits developed it as an Important Industrial and Port city ,majorly reclaiming land from the Indian Ocean .
They provided alot to the city ...first ever train in India was started here (thane) and a well designed drainage system (as per those days).
Now Our Mumbai is swelling like anything ...but this swelling just goes un noticed..
After all who will notice it ,those who have seen it ,have always seen it like this ..busy ,running ,over crowded trains,people travelling all across the length (there are hardly any breadths to this city) ,high competition to survive ,sowhat if can live on a snatched piece of other's bread !
BUT There is something new in past few years !! Unfortunately ,this new is not something positive .....
These yrs rains come to Mumbai and bring with even best of the terrorist attacks have been unable to do it ---THEY HAULT THE MUMBAI .
Our city still relies too much on drainage systems of 19th century ....Our Chief Minister of Maharashtra (Province of which Mumbai is capital) sits at Seattle when city is may be you can say practicising to become modern day's DWARKA ....Drowning !

There have been lots of new developments in Mumbai but seems like nothing has been planned to support the basic structure of city.....Shanites are way of life ....quite shamingly City boasts (or otherwise) of Asia's biggest slums DHARAVI .Slight rain blocks the drains coz the Municipal corp.did not clear the drains when it was needed ...polybags and stuff like that helped choking city life to death for some days ....
If you are taking a ground flat in City !! God save you !!
why are you investing in one of world's most expensive real estates when during mansoon you plan to see your Sofas drowned and TVs floating !! and you will be knocking doors of the nieghbours wholive in your upper floors for a night sleeps coz you can not even stand in you OWNED flat ???
I know that City has many talents ,Hafiz Contractor is one of the best architects an cityplanners avialable in nation. I mean ,why not form a panel and chalk out a permanent solution to this ,provide an advanced drainage system to city ,provide some free space to city where the water can be drained out ....For sure this way you can never even compare It with Shanghai or Singapore ..Never !!
Mumbai will have to wake up and do something abut it ..If Mumbai can not do it for itself then which other city in India can do it for itself ????

After a long gap ........

I guess the last post i made was some one year back..I had newly moved to Hong Kong from China those days.
Well now one year down the line am still in Hong Kong .
World has changed alot since then...For me ,work front ,my personal front and otherwise as well...
Global warming is taking is toll all across the globe with South Asian Nations suffering presently..India..Pakistan ..China..Thailand and so on !!
Learnt yesterday that sacred Ice Shivlinga ,in Holy pilgrimage for Hindus at Amarnath also melted due to heat ! Shiv also known as Mahesh is supposed to be one of famous trinity in Hindu Mythology ....: Brahma (Creator),Vishnu (preserver),Mahesh (Destroyer). It is said that whenever the Destroyer god is not happy with the deeds of Human beings he shows his anger in form of calamities etc..So Hindus take Earthqukes ,Draughts,Epidemics ,Floods and all such things as Shiva's anger !! But it's rather interesting to see that Shivlinga (which Hindus worship coz hey take it as very origin of Life) itself had to disappear !!
Is Shiva so frustated with Humans now ??
Well ,May be ! Global warming is definately not a phenomena taking place coz of What Lions or elephants or Birds or Fishes or Insects are doing in this world ! Whole blame is to be shared with Human race .What we are capable of doing and what we are actually doing ..actually no one has realised yet !
Actually as per me Shiva already tried giving some wake up calls to us in recent past ....Say Tsunamis , Ritas and Katerinas to name a few ! These were new of it's kind !
But seems like we are not listening ,or may be too busy fighting with each other or to achieve not so needed goals of life !
What can Shiva do now ....
United States which will talk about all the issues ranging from Human rights to democracy in the nations which it needs to take on a head on approach ( read China and Middle eat oil rich nations ) ,It will go a long way to ensure it is heard ...even will force it's way ....It's so called way for IMPOSED democracy or ...own defination of HUMAN rights (may be which doesn't apply on it's own run torture camps at Guantanamo Bay ) ..US has done all this ..
But interstingly this nation with Less than 1/25th population of the world is the biggest contributer to the polluting gases !!
Till date it has wamhantely refused to agree with and follow the EARTH Summit Norms and recommendations at Rio De Jenario .
I really can not take this hippocracy !
Even poor nations ( I don't called India at Developing nation ....that way all the nations are developing ..some dveloping industries,some with populations ..some with diseases ;) ..Like India ..are trying something which was till a while ago was un imaginable for them ...CNG is being introduced at some cities and no. of CNG cities is increasing ..that's a good sign..atleast we are a better democracy than USA ....though Mobocracy at times :-)
