Rain vs Bangalore

Whenever it rains, it pours! How could anybody form a better meaning sentence in the English language than this? Looks like the rain gods are smiling over Bangalore. Rather, I must say, the rain Gods are guffawing so much so that, Bangalore is in tears now!

One of the newspapers that was covering the rains in Bangalore actually said, 'Bangalore's infrastructure (whats left of it that is) is creaking'. I think the author must have been satisfied that he had hit the raw nerve when commenting on Bangalore's 'creaking' infrastructure. Here are some of the photos that say the story of Bangalore so clearly

Picture #1: I have always wondered how the silk board bridge was built over a river. Did I just say, a river?!!

Picture #2: Time for some brown water rafting baby!!!

Picture #3: If you think this is the traffic condition on a rainy day, you have never been mistaken! As it happens only in Bangalore, the traffic is in the same state as it is everyday - in a state of suspension

Have our public servants, namely the politicians and the PWD, read a lesson from all this avoidable disaster?
