Our city fathers keep unnerving us each time they want to make Mumbai into Shangai..
The Rains come we look like Venice , cars floating like Gondolas, making love in the car on the back seats during floods , with a juicy Bhuta maize in hand is the best kick, a horny guy who deals in stolen car parts at Chor Bazar was telling me...It gave an extra kick , he is already married this he was talking about his maid servant who accompanies him to buy chicken at Bandra Bazar Road..
Wife is in bed enwombed to her 9th kid expected any day like the torrential rains...
Bandra Bombil wadi, near Hill Road has sleepy East Indian cottages, this morning it was a stream kids swimming under the shadow of the Cross, Jesus watching uninterestedly , He watches this tamasha every year, this is the only Cross close to a gutter that has pigs paying homage to the Messiah.
They call it Bandra's Bay of Pigs.
I came out from this lane into a water gushing, snotty brown muddy, phlegm gurgling Bandra Bazar Road..suffering from tuberculosis, nothing had changed , ..
Bandra Bazar Road residents take all this in their stride, the new independant corporator was not around, the old Congress I corporator he got inundated in the hustings..totally washed out...hook line and sinker..
The next elections in Mumbai will be very crucial ones people expecting better amenities, better governance and better and not bitter Disaster Management.
Our life during the rains is exactly like the chicken in the coop , the butchers are smiling with Municipal grins.. we are dead either way..
