Battered Chennai

God seem to have answered all our prayers and has shown too much mercy on us. The unprecedented rains has wreaked a lot of havoc and chaos in most parts of the city causing a deluge of problems for the residents. The rivers threatening to break in at any time.Nobody in their wildest dreams would have ever imagined chennai to be inundated because of rains. We cant really blame the rains for flooding the suburbs because most of the houses were built on dry river beds. Can you beleive this pic?? Its the adyar river almost touching the bridge at saidapet. With more rains to lash the city wonder whether chennai can really survive another disaster. The relief measures thankfully has not been that sluggish. Chennai already witnessed a natural disaster last year Tsunami, the killer waves and this time its the floods. We prayed for water and now we fear for it. This blatantly explains us that we are paying the price for tampering with the nature. Let this be a lesson for people and make them aware of the consequences of destroying the nature.

Hi HA, I came across your blog via some random browsing. Nice blog, I say. Chennai seems to be truely and throughly battered by the rains. I cant imagine the turn-around from the days I used to live in Chennai. No rains, acute water shortage. Oh gosh. It seems like the pendulum has swung the other extreme now! Hope that the infrastructure in Chennai improves now to tackle both these extremes. I have heard about RWH in Chennai and am wondering whether it is being implemented in spirit, if at all. It will be great if you can give some pointers, you being a resident there.
