In one of them, the Common man and his wife are on their house balcony seeing a single patch of dark cloud. And the wife tells: THERE GOES POWER, WATER, TRANSPORT....<BR/><BR/>In another pocket cartoon depicting a rainy scene, everybody is well protected against the pouring rain, except one gentleman who’s drenched from head to toe ‘coz he hasn’t even got an umbrella. He’s seen answering a fellow-bus stopper’s question. Says he “Yes. I work in the meteorological department. How did you know?”<BR/><BR/>By the way, I have followed your suggestion.RKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773673177443742045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-1149048615465923072006-05-30T21:10:00.000-07:002006-05-30T21:10:00.000-07:00Shruthi, I hereby present to you this cap worn by ...Shruthi, I hereby present to you this cap worn by all Mumbaikars!!!! :) Feels so good when you write about Mumbai.....<BR/><BR/>Just to keep you posted, we had our first rainfall last night. It was also my birthday yesterday so got a great ending since it starting pouring around 11 pm. Today the roads look clean and washed; there is a cool breeze blowing (haan bhai haan...don't look so shocked) and the humidity seems to have all but gone.<BR/><BR/>We're all getting our "all-season" footwear out along with those umbrellas you mentioned in your post. Andheri is just about starting to resemble an ant-hill with all those people, vehicles stranded in huge traffic snarls.<BR/><BR/>Great post!!!
