Bangalore Rain Update
Rain in Bangalore
Bangalore doesnt get too much of rains usually.
And the public go out in the rainy seasons with no umbrellas, no precautions.
They know even if it rains, it wont stay for long.
But then on Oct22 and Oct23, it rained the whole day (and the whole night too)
Since it was a weekend, the rain did not affect the life in a big way.
All of us stayed back at home.. Getting out occassionally when the sun comes out.
The Monday morning newspaper had surprising stories to tell..
The rain was too heavy in some parts, and it rained non-stop.
The result, flooded roads, flooded basements, overflowing rivers, spilling water
tanks, blocked roads..
One of the major IT firms that has a shop in the famous Hosur Road got flooded.
Water rushed into the basement. The Basement is below the road level.
Even part of the ground floor is below the road level.
Rain water damaged many equipments and other infra devices.
The situation dint change much on Tuesday.
The flooded offices did not function on Monday and Tuesday.
It was raining all day on Tuesday also.
But luckily, rain subsided by Tuesday night.
It did not rain too much in the night.
And on Wednesday (today) sun is out. (Rain also seems to be out, for the day)
Schools are closed for two days.
Police Commissioner has urged the public to stay indoor, unless absolutely necessary to get out.
But the poor IT guyz (me included) struggled to get to office and have to 'work' the whole day
Had a talk with one of my friend who has to commute on the infamous Hosur Road to get to his office.
R: Hellon. How did you reach office today ? Swimming ?
G: hahaaa. Nope, on bike
R: Wow, is that a multi-terrain bike? Land and water type ?
G: :D
G: Do u remember the good old childhood days when we used to play with toy boats ?
G: The ones that make this "bhum bhum" sound ?
R: Yeah.. very much
G: Thats exactly the sound that my bike made today. Super Digital Dolby experience
R: haa !
G: I did some acrobatics on the bike - just to stay dry
G: placed my legs on the crash guard - but still water splashed on to my trousers :(
R: Phewy.. Circus on bike on HR ?!! Kewl :D
G: I am highly confident about my bike now.
R: Hmm ? huh ? why ??
G: Can use it as a hover craft also . Haahaaa :))
R: Haa haaa... hoooo !!
