Its raining hell………Alleluia
Another monsoon, another year of false promises by the civic authorizes, and Bombay is as always sinking and stinking. Our apathy and ‘chaltha hai’ attitude is the price we are paying today. When frankly it is not chaltha hai but sab ‘Martha hai’. A famous Amitabh Bachhan movie dialogue said, “Mauth key saath kiskey rishtey dhari, aaj humarey tho kal thumarey bhari’. So others are suffering or dying and not me (yet), so why bother. Not realizing today it is someone tomorrow it could be you or a near and dear one. We have become so numb that even if we suffer, we suffer silently and take comfort by terming it as the ‘Resilient Spirit of Bombay’, when it is a ‘Silent Spirit of Bombay’. We see no evil, hear no evil and say evil, and silently endure the evils of our politicians and civic authorities.
After 26th July 2005, or glamorize the date as the Americans do as 0726. Americans can confuse anything. When they say 911, sometimes I get confused whether they mean Sept 11th or November 9th. The event being the goriest in the history of terrorism, it’s a date we all know. So confusing or glamorize the date, after 26th July 2005, our civic administration now has a new terminology for the mess, which is global warming. The truth it is ‘rear warming’, as all that these jokers are warm their rear in the civic offices, and warm their pockets with bribes and corrupt practices.
For years the same pockets are flooded. I don’t mean the pockets of the politicians and corrupt babus as that is flooded with bribe and dirty money round the year. I am talking of the same places in Bombay that flood every year, trains run late, traffic slows down to snail pace, and we have been made an ass that Bombay will be made Shanghai. Make it a proper city from the shitty mess we are living in for decades, or since politicians have nothing better to do than name cities, like from Bombay to Mumbai, so we can now call Bombay city as Mumbai shitty, as that’s how the colloquial way of speech anyways would sound, like “Bedu apunka shitty hai na, ek dum solids hai”. Just that from solid it is sinking in liquid now, “ek dum liquids yaar”.
Instead of growing the city vertically which was a stupid move they should have grown the city horizontally. I still wonder how the BWSL Bridge is going to solve any problems besides the rich and elite who can travel faster to Nariman Point, or the corrupt politicians who can now travel from the airport to Mantralaya offices faster. The truth is that there would be lesser people travelling on the BWSL than the traffic of what just one train of peak travel traffic would carry. So the common man can travel like animals and feel good that Bombay has a bridge when many who travel on these trains will never use the bridge in their lifetime, or maximum visit it as a tourist attraction. A smaller stretch from Bhayendar to Naigaon if bridged for road traffic would have had millions of commuters living in the far suburbs an alternative mode of transport.
Now we could look at another alternative mode of transport in the mean time i.e. water transport. As with the way the city is flooding every year, we can seriously consider having boats ferrying people around. So when there are no rains we suffer, and when it rains we sink. When there are no rains we pray for rains, now it’s raining hell and we are living in it.
